Under Armour developing a smart shoe that reads blood pressure

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.
