What's Senstep?
Senstep by Tarsos is an ultra-thin, in-shoe thermal monitoring system designed for research excellence in foot health, sports science, and beyond. Developed by a multidisciplinary team led by podiatrist Dr Stephen Mizzi and biomedical engineer Professor Owen Falzon, it empowers researchers with real-time foot temperature data to explore ground-breaking insights into foot health and thermoregulation.
Overview & Key Benefits
A New Standard in Foot Temperature Research
Research Applications
Senstep is tailor-made to support a variety of research domains:
Diabetic Foot Research
Investigate thermal asymmetries that may indicate early signs of complications. High-resolution data reveal subtle temperature changes that could signal impending ulcers.
Sports Science & Recovery
Explore how the foot regulates temperature before, during, and after exertion. Measure how athletic footwear or recovery protocols influence in-shoe conditions.
Rehabilitation & Mobility Studies
Use temperature variations as biomarkers for post-injury recovery. Monitor how gait changes or therapeutic interventions affect foot health over time.
Footwear Design & Ergonomics
Test how different materials, insoles, and constructions influence foot temperature and comfort in real-world settings.
Geriatric Foot Health Research
Assess temperature data to uncover unique patterns in older adult populations, where foot complications are often under-researched.
