Abstract: The disclosed technique relates to an insert for footwear and to a composite orthotic insole comprising said insert, wherein the insert is embedded with a plurality of force (or pressure) sensors, and may be used to provide feedback on important information regarding the wearer's gait biomechanics. The layer of sensors may be used to assist in monitoring the wearer's health via foot pressure tracking. The insole can use a relative large number of sensors, which together provide broad coverage of the human foot impact area.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for feedback-driven provision of information in relation to a plurality of information resources. Some such methods involve: accessing information resources from repositories to establish a mapping between information resources; maintaining a state table comprising a plurality of state-table records, each state-table record attributing a value to a state-action pair, which comprises an indication of actions in relation to the information resources; monitoring actions of a user in relation to the information resources; receiving a feedback metric related to interaction of the user with the information resources; using the feedback metric to update the values of the state-table records; and providing output information based at least in part on the updated values of the state-table records.

Abstract: Disclosed is a platform for generating and delivering 3-D printed wearables. The platform includes scanning, image processing, machine learning, computer vision, and user input to generate a printed wearable. Scanning occurs in a number of ways across a number of devices. The variability of scanning generates a number of scanning output types. Outputs from the scanning process are normalized into a single type during image processing. The computer vision and machine learning portions of the platform use the normalized body scan to develop models that may be used by a 3D printer to generate a wearable customized to the user. The platform further provides opportunities for the user to check the work of the scanning, image processing, computer vision, and machine learning. The user input enables the platform to improve and inform the machine learning aspects.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a sandal, wherein various aspects of said sandal may be customized for a wearer's feet. The aspects can involve one or more of: the toe thong location, the position of the foot strap, and the arch support profile and arch support position. For a particular wearer, the optimal locations/settings of one or more of the foregoing aspects may be determined by applying a computer algorithm, which takes into account the foot data of the wearer, which foot data may be obtained from image/video capture technology. The method then assembles a sandal having the optimal locations/settings, such that the foot strap position, the arch support profile and/or the arch support position, as the case may be, are customized for the wearer. Also disclosed herein is a sandal having a foot strap position and/or an arch support profile and arch support position that is customized for the wearer, and made in accordance with the above-described methods.
