Parkinson’s
NUSHU provides medical-grade gait analysis, all from a comfortable pair of shoes.
Capabilities
NUSHU is a medical device that empowers patients to capture precise gait data and share it seamlessly with their clinicians. Through intelligent haptic feedback, the system guides patients with gait disorders toward healthier movement patterns while supporting comprehensive gait assessments and therapeutic exercises.
NUSHU is the world’s first medical grade gait analysis system that delivers complex motion analysis from a simple pair of sneakers. Our AI powered gait analysis provides 40+ gait parameters, ranging from spatio-temporal parameters to balance and symmetry metrics.
The analysis results are easily accessible through our dashboard. You can see the progress of your patients, compare individual assessments, and easily check whether your patient’s gait parameters are in the expected range by our intuitive color coded user interface.
NUSHU can provide vibrotactile feedback to interact with the wearer. Our state-of-the-art algorithms detect gait events in real-time to warn or guide patients.
Collect data anywhere at any time. NUSHU allows patients to collect real-world gait data from the comfort of their home, during a weekend stroll out in the forest, or while shopping at the local grocery store which can seamlessly be shared with the clinician.
The process
The NUSHU app
NUSHU app is currently available on App Store. You can use it to communicate with your NUSHU shoes manage settings, perform activities and upload data.
NUSHU features common neurlogical assessments including Posturography, 10m test, 25ft test, 3 Minute walk as well auto-logging to collect a patient's gait during everyday activities.
The NUSHU app allows you to easily mark events that occurred during the recording.
All of the data is transferred from the shoes to the app using Wifi, for lightning speed, even for hour-long recordings.
The dashboard
NUSHU health dashboard helps healthcare professionals to efficiently monitor the status and progress of all their patients.
You can see the detailed analysis results of each activity. You can see the symmetry and variability over 8 gait parameter as well as range indicators taken from a healthy cohort.
Compare across assessments and track an individual's progress over time or analyze patterns across patient groups. Compare a single patient's performance across multiple sessions to identify trends and measure treatment effectiveness.
Generate professional, detailed reports directly from the dashboard to support clinical decision-making and documentation. Each report is designed to be clear, actionable, and ready to share with colleagues or integrate into patient records.
Inside the shoe
For clinics
We are working to grow availability of NUSHU throughout the United States and Europe by partnering with select Physical Therapists and Neurologists.
If you would like to register your interest to be a future NUSHU provider, fill in the form and a member of our team will be in touch in due course to discuss a potential partnership.
We`re looking forward to working with you in the future. Until then, if you have patients with gait challenges who you believe could benefit from NUSHU, you can find provider clinics using NUSHU using the button below.
Research in progress
Project
This pilot study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and potential benefit of NUSHU provides vibration feedback for reducing freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease. The study is conducted at Stanford University, Palo Alto, California, Unit
Project
Gait changes in Parkinson’s disease are complex and often missed during brief clinic visits.
Project
This study explores whether adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) can safely and effectively improve walking and balance problems in people with Parkinson’s disease.
