B-Shoes

B-Shoe (balancing shoe), the product developed and engineered by B-Shoe
Technologies is a standard walking shoe that enables the elderly to regain
their balance and avoid falling.

B-Shoe (short for Balancing Shoes) is a conventional walking shoe that
automatically performs a “backward step” accurately and only when needed.

The shoe incorporates pressure sensors, an embedded integrated motion device,
a microprocessor, smart algorithms, and a rechargeable battery.

When imbalance is detected, the motion device rolls the shoe slightly and
gently backward until balance is regained. The smart algorithms assure early
detection of imbalance and that the shoe will only operate when needed.
