Problem
Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) face challenges in consistently monitoring their mobility and gait patterns, which are critical indicators of disease progression and treatment efficacy. The lack of real-time, quantitative data hinders early detection of motor function decline and personalized intervention strategies.
Solution
eSteps provides an AI-powered insole and mobile application designed for the early detection and management of motor disabilities associated with MS. The insole captures detailed gait metrics, including step count, cadence, pace, stance, swing, and foot angles, which are then analyzed by the eSteps app. This analysis leverages proprietary AI algorithms to predict walking patterns, identify potential motor function decline, and provide personalized guidance for balance and posture. The platform enables continuous, quantitative monitoring, allowing users and their healthcare providers to track progress, detect changes early, and adjust treatment plans proactively.
Target Audience
The primary users are individuals diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis seeking to proactively manage their condition and healthcare providers, including neurologists and physical therapists, who require objective data for patient monitoring and treatment optimization.
