Heel2Toe is a shoe clip-on device aimed at targeting shuffling and slow movement by providing positive auditory feedback each time the wearer makes a ‘good step’.

Each sensor comes with a smartphone mobile app that records the ankle movements during stepping, provides auditory feedback for a good step, summarises the walking performance, and suggests recommendations for improvement.
