The proposal of an innovative insole using artificial intelligent technology for monitoring of foot pressure distribution to prevent chronic pain received HK$ 100,000 from the Cyberport Creative Micro Fund (2022). The selected proposal is developed by two of our year-3 nursing students from the BSc (Hons) in Nursing programme, Ms Eunice Mak and Mr Killian Tang, together with students from the Faculty of Business and the Department of Computing.
The incubated innovation, named PRESOLE, is designed for people whose work require prolonged standing, such as teachers and nurses. Sensors embedded in PRESOLE can detect uneven foot pressure and a notification will be sent via the mobile apps to alert the user. The student team believes that PRESOLE can help users maintain good posture for preventing chronic pain and reducing muscle discomfort.
PRESOLE was also presented at the Dare To Change 2021–23 business pitch competition, organised by the Young Entrepreneurs Development Council, a non-profit making charitable organisation aims to inspire and cultivate entrepreneurial spirit among Hong Kong’s young people.
