At the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Sensoria Inc., a fitness wearables company, announced updates to its Smart Running System, the expansion of its smart upper body clothes line, and the debut of its new wearables platform, the Sensoria Development Kit.
The Smart Running System, which is currently the only open and connected multi-garment fitness wearable system, will now be able to record data for foot impact score and average stride length, and it will also include heart rate zone and variability tracking. The system’s updated web dashboard will also allow users to analyze more in-depth information, like comparing shoes with usual metrics, and long-term user trends.

The CEO and co-founder of Sensoria Inc., David Vigano, said, “The data our technology is able to collect has not been collected before, much less presented to runners in an easy-to-understand interface. We’ve seen studies that show how impact force and over-striding are linked to injuries, so we want to help people identify bad habits and correct them. Our web dashboard’s virtual shoe closet also makes it easier for people to track the mileage on their shoes, and get automatically notified when it is time to replace them, receiving recommendations on the next best pair of shoes based on their own running form and performance data.”
Sensoria will also have a new wearables platform, the Sensoria Development Kit. The kit will have a new module called the Sensoria Core. This technology will be embedded into the company’s smart garment products as well as third-party wearable footwear and clothing. The Development Kit will allow companies to use the technology from Sensoria’s smart clothing to carry out tracking in different scenarios.
The other co-founder and CTO of Sensoria, Maurizio Macagano, said, “Running is just one of the scenarios that Sensoria can enable. We recognize the wide interests across different industry sectors to adapt wearable technology in a meaningful way. Our technology platform is suitable for apparel, sporting goods, wellness and health devices, to name just a few. As part of the technology platform, the Sensoria Core offers integration capabilities with a wide variety of sensors.”
