Under Armour is developing a smart shoe that tracks a wearer's blood pressure. The smart shoe transmits blood pressure readings to a wearable device, which then adjusts the fit of the show to optimize blood flow. The smart shoe helps the wearer recover after a strenuous workout.
The company first started selling its "HOVR Connected Series" smart shoes in 2018. The smart shoes provide real-time data about running performance, including gait and distance. The smart shoes link with the MapMyRun app (also owned by Under Armour) to track performance over time.
Consumer demand has increased for wearable technology. Smart footwear has a wide variety of applications, including fitness, medical, team sports, video games, and virtual/augmented reality. According to a recent Market Research Future forecast, the smart footwear market is projected to reach a size of $6.51 billion in 2023, growing at a CAGR of 32%.
