iShoe: NASA Technology Aids Senior Citizens, College Mogul

“The iShoe won’t help senior citizens walk on the moon, but its NASA technology will help rehabilitate the wearer’s ability to balance. The insole was originally developed for NASA to enable astronauts to balance in outer space, where it has been tested extensively by astronauts aboard the space shuttle and Mir space station. For $10, the piece of NASA technology is a steal. Especially since it not only helps to reduce falls, but automatically notifies caregivers by phone if a fall were to occur.”
