Smart insole to identify and mitigate workplace accidents

The insole embedded with advanced pressure and motion sensors is the brainchild of a team led by Professor Lim Chwee Teck from the Department of Biomedical Engineering as well as the Institute for Health Innovation & Technology (iHealthtech).
