# Predictive Sneaker Insoles The SurroSense Rx System Helps to Prevent Diabetic Foot Wounds By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2018-10-30 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surrosense-rx References: [theengineer](https://www.theengineer.co.uk/diabetic-foot-ulcers-manchester/) & [surrosense.orpyx](http://surrosense.orpyx.com/) Alberta's Orpyx Medical Technologies developed SurroSense Rx as an [FDA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mynerva-leia-sock)-approved foot sensor technology system for supporting foot health. In particular, the system is beneficial for predicting potential risks to foot health, like [diabetic foot wounds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medicosbiotech), and reporting them to a smartwatch. The [sensor-embedded shoe inserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esteps-health) for running and walking shoes are designed to intake pressure data and keep tabs on dangerous conditions. When a user receives an alert that their foot health may be at risk due to time and pressure levels, they are able to bring their attention to changing their behaviors and taking steps towards better health. Over time, users are able to consult digital data charts on their personalized Orpyx Connect account. As diabetes can lead to nerve damage and a loss of sensation in the foot, people who suffer from this disease are at risk of developing foot ulcers that may lead them to become candidates for limb amputation in extreme cases. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Foot Sensor Technology:** The use of foot sensor technology for predicting potential risks to foot health offers opportunities for innovation in healthcare and wellness industries. - **Smart Insoles:** Smart insoles that intake pressure data and alert users of potential risks to their foot health offer opportunities for innovation in the footwear, sports, and wellness industries. - **Personalized Data Analytics:** The use of personalized data analytics for foot health tracking offers opportunities for innovation in healthcare and wellness industries. ### Where This Applies - **Healthcare:** The use of foot sensor technology and personalized data analytics offer opportunities for healthcare providers to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. - **Footwear:** The development of smart insoles presents opportunities for footwear companies to offer value-added products and differentiate themselves in the market. - **Sports:** The use of smart insoles in athletic shoes presents opportunities for sports companies to offer products that improve performance while promoting health and wellness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nerve-Stimulating Diabetic Socks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mynerva-leia-sock.md) - [Remote Rehab Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rehab-solutions.md) - [Shoe Mileage Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shoes-lifespan.md) - [Tech-Forward Innovative Recovery Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-Recovery-boot.md) - [Smart Posture Insoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esteps-health.md) - [AI-Driven Diabetes Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diabetespro.md) - [Customizable Shoe Insoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecodasher-insole.md) - [AI-Powered Shoe Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aetrex.md) - [Foot Health Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foot-health.md)
