Strategy of Triple‐Gradient in Binary Pixels for Flexible Pressure Sensing with High Sensitivity and Wide‐Range Linearity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A flexible pressure sensor with triple‐gradient design of conductivity, modulus, and dimension in binary micro‐dome pixels is proposed. Based on precisely‐designed CNT/PDMS matrix, the device exhibits a linear sensitivity of 974.1 kPa−1 across range up to 1.8 MPa (R2 > 0.99), offering an effective strategy for potential applications in healthcare ...

Self‐Powered All‐in‐One Wearable Bioelectronics Driven by Pneumatic Energy Buffering of Daily Footsteps

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A pneumatic energy‐buffering strategy transforms transient and intermittent footsteps into quasi‐continuous electrical energy for a self‐powered wearable biosensing platform. The footwear‐integrated air‐pumping harvester, combined with the rationally designed power‐management system, powers a wearable ankle PPG device with reduced motion artifacts ...

Footwear Toe‐Box Shape and Medial Forefoot Pressures in Women With Hallux Valgus

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research
Background Narrow fitting footwear is a modifiable risk factor for the development of hallux valgus (HV). Despite this, the pressure that footwear exerts at the medial forefoot has not been fully evaluated in people with HV.

Cooptimized Sensing and Sole Mechanics Enable Embodied‐Intelligence Design of User‐Specific Smart Footwear

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
An embodied codesign framework for smart footwear is presented, jointly tuning lattice mechanics and sensing for personalized plantar pressure monitoring. By integrating pneumatic sensing within 3D‐printed lattice soles, the system achieves accurate real‐time centre‐of‐pressure tracking with reduced sensor count and energy demand, demonstrating how ...

Shoe Talk and Shoe Silence

, 2016
Like the gait of one unfamiliar with walking in stiletto heels, the two parts of this essay move, at times arhythmically, between explo-rations of objects in environments. Part one embeds the shoe in human-centric environments as an instrument that’s used as much to displace particular autopoietic systems as ...

Cognitive Performance in Young Adults During Three Consecutive Days of Simulated Occupational Heat Stress: An Exploratory Study

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Global increases in occupational heat exposure are raising concerns about worker safety and cognitive performance during prolonged and repeated shifts. At present, the cumulative effects of repeated heat exposure on cognitive performance remain unclear.
