The Smart Shoe, reimagined

The smartest shoe has no chip in it.

Your iPhone already measures how steadily you walk — a validated fall-risk signal sitting unread in Apple Health. HealthGait reads it, shows your trend, warns you early, and pairs you with the right shoe. No gadget to buy. No sensor to charge.

The gap

The fall-risk signal is already on your phone. Almost no one reads it.

Apple Health quietly measures your walking steadiness, walking speed, and asymmetry — a validated read on balance and fall risk, captured from the phone you already carry. But it sits buried in an app most people never open: no trend, no warning, no idea what to do about it. HealthGait turns that signal into something you can actually act on — and pairs it with a shoe the evidence says helps.

Three parts, one already in your pocket

The phone measures it. The shoe steadies it. We connect the two.

Your iPhone is the sensor

Apple Health already computes walking speed, asymmetry, and Walking Steadiness — validated against gait labs and built to warn of fall risk. Nothing to buy, charge, or wear.

The right shoe steadies you

The evidence is clear: a wide, firm sole, low heel, secure fit, and reduced toe-catch cut sway and trips. We pair you with the right shoe for how you walk — everyday to clinical adaptive.

We read it + warn early

We watch the number day over day, flag a decline weeks before a fall, and tell you exactly what to do next — a balance exercise, a PT referral, a check from your care team.

How it works

Four steps. Nothing to buy to begin.

Open the app

It reads the walking data Apple Health has already been collecting — with your permission. No gadget, nothing to wear. Your gait number in seconds.

See your trend

Walking Steadiness and speed, day over day, in plain language — steady, improving, or slipping. The thing your phone was measuring but never showed you.

Get the right shoe

Based on how you actually walk, we pair you with the right shoe — a supportive everyday shoe, or a clinical adaptive shoe if your gait needs more. A genuinely better shoe, not a gadget.

Act early

If the trend bends the wrong way, you get a clear next step — before a fall, not after. And a care network behind it if you want one.

What you get

  • The app — reads your iPhone, turns Apple Health's raw signal into your gait number and steadiness trend
  • The early-warning — we watch the trend so you don't have to, and flag a slip weeks early
  • The shoe match — paired to your gait, chosen on published footwear-and-balance evidence
  • A care network behind it — if your gait slips, real help is one tap away
  • No hardware to buy to start — the sensor is the phone already in your pocket

Why it works

Two things are already true. We finally fit them together.

One: walking speed and steadiness are the sixth vital sign — they predict falls, recovery, and independence better than almost any single test (Studenski, JAMA 2011; CDC STEADI). Two: Apple validated the iPhone as a gait sensor and built Walking Steadiness from its Heart & Movement Study specifically to warn of fall risk. The signal and the science already exist on tens of millions of phones. We make them usable — and pair them with a shoe the evidence says actually helps.

"My daughter set up the app on my phone in a minute. It showed my walking had been slipping since winter — I hadn't noticed. The new shoes and a few exercises, and it's climbing back."

About HealthGait and the "smart shoe." HealthGait reads gait metrics — including walking speed, asymmetry, and Walking Steadiness — that you consent to share from Apple Health. It supports awareness and earlier action; it is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, or prevent disease, and it cannot stop every fall. Walking Steadiness and Apple Health are features of Apple Inc.; HealthGait is independent and not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Apple. Shoe recommendations reflect published footwear-and-balance evidence (e.g., AGS evidence-based footwear guidance) and are not a guarantee against falls. Gait and fall figures reflect CDC data and published gait-speed research (Studenski et al., JAMA 2011; CDC STEADI). HSA/FSA eligibility depends on a qualifying letter of medical necessity and your plan. Always involve a qualified clinician in care decisions. The scenario above is illustrative.
