Smart Shoes Track Brain and Balance Health in Older Adults

Researchers have developed a low-cost way to assess cognitive and motor decline in seniors using sensors embedded in shoe insoles paired with interactive games. The finding could transform how clinicians screen for fall risk and early cognitive problems, potentially reducing costly hospitalizations and enabling earlier intervention.
