Self-Charging, Medical-Grade Hospital-at-Home Insoles

INVIZA®  Health's smart insoles with medical-grade optical sensors can be a valuable tool for Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Digital Therapeutics (DTx) in a Hospital-at-Home (HaH) setting.  Here are some reasons why:


  1. Self-Charging Battery:  Self-charging batteries are a key feature of our smart insoles.  Piezoelectric materials convert steps into energy that power the insoles internal sensors.  No charging means they are simple to use and that improves compliance. 
  2. Non-Invasive Monitoring: Traditional medical devices used for RPM and DTx patient monitoring can be invasive and uncomfortable for the patient. Smart insoles with optical sensors offer a non-invasive alternative that can continuously monitor a patient's vitals without causing any discomfort.
  3. Real-Time Monitoring: Smart insoles with medical-grade optical sensors can provide real-time data on a patient's foot pressure, gait, and other biometric information. This information can be used to identify any abnormalities or changes in the patient's condition, allowing healthcare providers to intervene quickly if necessary.
  4. Cost-Effective: Patient monitoring with smart insoles can be a cost-effective alternative to in-person visits, particularly for patients who require frequent monitoring. By reducing the need for in-person visits, smart insoles can help to lower healthcare costs and improve patient outcomes.
  5. Promotes Walking, Recovery, and a Healthy Lifestyle: People are recommended to at least walk briskly five days (5) per week for at least 30-minutes each day (150-minutes per week minimum).  This will especially help with patient's health recovering from acute hospitalizations for cardiac (e.g., heart attack and heart failure), pulmonary (e.g., Coronary Artery Bypass Graft  "CABG" Surgery), respiratory (e.g., COPD and pneumonia), and hip and knee replacement surgery.  


Lifestyles can be defined by step count, see below.  For instance, you will see why for at least this one reason why Americans are heavier than Europeans.  DTx promotion of walking using smart insoles will be very beneficial for all people's health. And, looping back to 1. above, people won't have to recharge their smart insoles' battery often either.  It's a win-win!


Overall, INVIZA's smart insoles with medical-grade optical sensors that self-charge their battery from patient's steps are an innovative and valuable tool for RPM and DTx. The Company offers a non-invasive, real-time, and cost-effective alternative to traditional medical devices, making them well-suited for the HaH market.

Convenience, Ease-of-Use, Self-charging from Steps

 

Convenience, ease-of-use and self-charging from user's or patient's steps are important to wearable technology, particularly when it comes to concealed smart insoles inside shoes, for several reasons:


  1. Patient Experience: Wearable technology aims to improve users' lives by providing valuable insights and features while seamlessly integrating into their daily routines. By ensuring that the devices are easy to use, manufacturers can enhance the overall user experience, encourage consistent usage (i.e., more walking equals less battery recharging for the patient or patient's caregivers), and improve patient satisfaction.
  2. Mass Adoption: When wearable technology is easy to use and maintain, it is more likely to be adopted by a broader range of users, including those with varying levels of technical proficiency. This wider acceptance helps to drive innovation and development in the industry.
  3. Compliance and Data Accuracy: For wearable devices like concealed smart insoles that measure vital signs and body movements, ease-of-use plays a crucial role in ensuring that users consistently wear the device. Consistent use helps to improve data accuracy, which, in turn, ensures more reliable analysis and insights.
  4. Minimal Disruption: Devices with self-charging capabilities minimize disruption in users' lives by eliminating the need for constant charging or battery replacements. For concealed smart insoles that use medical-grade, non-invasive optical sensors and motion and force sensors, and INVIZA's SmartPower ™ system that recharges the insoles' battery from patient's steps, this is particularly important, as the device's purpose is to remain unobtrusive while providing valuable health and movement data to hospital and telehealth physicians monitoring their patients at home.
  5. Safety and Convenience: Self-charging capabilities, especially for wearables like smart insoles, reduce the risk of running out of battery during crucial moments, such as during a workout or in a medical emergency. Ensuring that the device is always operational and available provides both safety and convenience to users.
  6. Environmental Impact: Self-charging wearables contribute to sustainability efforts by reducing the need for disposable batteries or frequent charging, ultimately reducing the carbon footprint and electronic waste generated by such devices. This is especially true for INVIZA's patent pending energy harvesting technology that utilizes environmentally friendly piezoelectric energy harvesting materials versus the industry go-to piezoelectric material that contains lead.  This will allow for market adoption in the European Union since their Restrictions on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) restricts the use of lead in electronics.


In summary, ease-of-use and self-charging capabilities are essential for wearable technology, as they improve user experience, encourage mass adoption, ensure data accuracy, minimize disruption, provide safety and convenience, and have a positive environmental impact. These factors are particularly important for concealed smart insoles that use medical-grade sensors to monitor vital signs and body movements, as they aim to provide valuable insights without intruding on users' daily lives.

Sedentary to Active – Depends on Where You Live

 The number of average steps people take at home per day can vary depending on various factors such as age, health status, walkability, access to public transportation, and the overall lifestyle of the residents. Here are some general estimates for the United States:


  1. Rural areas: In rural areas, people may take fewer steps due to the need for motorized transportation and greater distances between destinations. The average daily step count can range from 3,500 to 5,000 steps (sedentary).  However, this number could be higher for individuals who work in agriculture or participate in outdoor activities.
  2. Suburban towns/cities: Suburban residents often rely on cars for transportation but may have more opportunities for walking in their neighborhoods or at local parks. The average daily step count for people living in suburban areas can range from 4,000 to 6,000 steps (sedentary to low active).
  3. Large cities: In large cities, residents are more likely to walk or use public transportation, leading to higher average daily step counts. Urban dwellers in the United States can average around 5,000 to 7,000 steps per day (low active). This number could be even higher for those who actively commute by walking or biking or live in highly walkable neighborhoods.


According to a study published in the Journal of Physical Activity and Health, the average number of steps taken by adults aged 18-65 years old in the United States, Asia and Europe are 4000-5000 (sedentary), 6500-7300 (low active), and 6000-8000 (low active to active) steps per day, respectively.

Low Active – Children Get You Moving

 Being a stay-at-home parent is a full-time job that involves constant movement and engagement with children. However, the number of steps taken by stay-at-home parents each day can vary widely based on numerous factors such as the age of the kids, daily routines, and overall health and fitness levels. But don't underestimate the parents' hustle! According to a study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, stay-at-home parents take an average of around 5,000-6,000 (low active) steps per day, which is slightly higher than the average step count for adults in the United States overall. Even with the constant demands of parenting, stay-at-home parents manage to stay active and on their feet to ensure their children are taken care of. 

Low Active – Hospital Workers to Active – Nurses

 Did you know that the average number of steps hospital workers take per day varies depending on their specific job roles and responsibilities?  According to a study published in the Journal of Hospital Medicine, hospital workers (excluding nurses) take an average of around 7,200-7,400 steps per day.  However, those who have physically demanding job duties and spend more time on their feet tend to have higher step counts than those with sedentary jobs.


As for nurses, the daily step count can also vary depending on their job responsibilities and the unit they work in.  A study published in the Journal of Nursing Administration found that nurses take an average of around 8,023 steps per day, which is higher than the general population's average.  Interestingly, nurses who work in units with more patient activity, such as the intensive care unit or the emergency department, tend to have higher step counts than those who work in units with less patient activity, such as medical-surgical units. 

Our Mission

 INVIZA is targeting the Hospital-at-Home care market using its self-charging, medical-grade RPM  insoles.  The goal is to minimize readmissions to hospitals post acute (e.g., heart attack, heart failure, COPD, CABG surgery, and hip and knee replacement surgery) care within 30-days.


It is important for patients to walk regularly during post acute hospitalization recovery.  INVIZA intends to help to promote patients via DTx to walk more with our smart insoles that recharge their battery from the wearer's steps.
