Bilateral gait-sensing research/screening kit with four parts:
- Insole: a five-region force insole with a heel PVDF film and a protected flat tail. - Pod: worn on the lower shin (ESP32-C3, MCP3208, LSM6DSO32, removable battery cartridge, one button, one light) and controlled offline from a phone over Bluetooth. - Cartridge: a removable battery cartridge. - Dock: a desk dock that charges bare cartridges.
