Smart shoes from an Israeli technology company have become a savior for the elderly.

A recent study found that by the age of 65, one in three people will fall and suffer a serious injury each year. The older you are, the more likely you are to fall and the more serious your injuries. Because of the decline in balance, it is understandable that older people have difficulty regaining their balance quickly enough to stand. But there is now a solution to this problem.

B-shoe is a smart shoe from an Israeli technology company, led by Dr. Yonatan Manor. Using ultra-light materials, B-shoe has built-in pressure sensors and an integrated motion device, a microprocessor chip, and a rechargeable battery combined with a complex algorithm.

These shoes will sense the most subtle signs of imbalance and then automatically apply force like a backward step, impacting one supporting leg and helping the wearer avoid falling.

With such uses, the main target of B-shoe will be the elderly and the production team also plans to register this product as a medical device, not a technology or fashion product.
