INVIZA is targeting the Healthcare/Hospital-at-Home (HaH) ~ monitoring post-acute patients at home and hospital personnel and Healthcare/Defense ~ monitoring military personnel using our self-charging, medical-grade Remote Patient or Personnel Monitoring (RPM) smart insoles and software platform. The goal is to minimize readmissions to hospitals post acute (e.g., heart attack, heart failure, COPD, CABG surgery, and hip or knee replacement surgery) care within 30-days, and for the military detect illness early, plus enhance physical fitness and safety (for instance, fall detection and post fall evaluation) through digital therapeutics (DTx) actionable insights.
The foundation of the INVIZA® CARE 1.0 platform is our self-charging smart insoles with medical-grade optical sensors and embedded machine learning (ML) algorithms and cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) for vital sign measurement accuracy, predictive analytics, security, and power optimization. These smart insoles are an invaluable tool for Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Digital Therapeutics (DTx) in a hospital and a Hospital-at-Home (HaH) setting. Here are some reasons why:
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!
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:
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.

Medical Wearables 2023
Medical wearables are the next big thing. History will show that Fitbit and Apple Watch are just the early primitive devices, and that the next wave of smart medical wearables will revolutionize healthcare and dramatically improve quality of life.
What are the next-generation medical wearable technologies? What are the most promising use cases and applications? What are the main challenges right now? What’s on the roadmap of the leading companies and R&D groups? These are the key questions that will drive the discussion at this annual conference.
The future is bright for medical wearables -- we invite you to attend this conference to identify emerging technology and application trends, exchange ideas, form new companies, and network with your industry peers!
Online, December 5-7th
INVIZA® Health
will be exhibiting and demoing our INVIZA CARE M1.0 platform product (smart insoles, app, cloud, and web portal) at
