TARSOS
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
21-Sensor Temperature Mapping
Gain ultra-detailed thermal patterns from across the foot. Each Senstep insole features 21 sensors, capturing comprehensive temperature data in critical regions.
Compact, Lightweight Design
At only 1.4 mm thick and weighing under 50 grams, Senstep fits discreetly into standard footwear without interfering with movement or comfort.
Dynamic Data Acquisition
Continuous dynamic temperature data acquisition, providing insights in real-life scenarios for accurate and meaningful analysis.
Intuitive Mobile App
Our companion software provides an easy-to-navigate interface for data visualisation and analysis. Effortlessly manage large datasets, compare sessions, and generate meaningful insights.
Flexible Data Access & Seamless Export
Retrieve readings via Bluetooth® on demand, or review stored data at your convenience. Download results in CSV or JSON formats for integration with your existing research workflows.
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.
