Go-Boot, the first-ever smart boot designed for people with Parkinson’s.
More than half of people with Parkinson's struggle to walk each day due to a symptom called “freezing”—a sudden, temporary inability to move—which leads to frustration, loss of independence, and an increased risk of falls. We changed that with Go-Boot, converging the latest in shoe design, with Functional Electrical Stimulation to provide paced pulsing aiding in stability and consistency of a person’s gate.
Role: Co-Inventor, Technologist, Creative Director/Producer
Integrated FES Technology GoBoot is more than footwear—it's a neuroactive innovation designed to keep people on their feet. Powered by advanced Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) technology, it sends pulses to stimulate muscles and nerves in the lower leg.
Boot Design and Construction
GoBoot’s ergonomic design is built around a custom-molded sole and featherlight materials for maximum comfort. Step-sensing technology, fully controllable app, and wireless charging make it effortless to use.
"It's an open-source blueprint, designed to challenge the scientific community and footwear industry to innovate harder and develop meaningful solutions for people living with Parkinson's—until there's a cure."
