Smart shoe soles from Ho Chi Minh City International University, integrated with FSR pressure sensor and ESP32 microprocessor, are capable of recording foot force distribution, displaying data as a heat map and warning when detecting signs of imbalance. The device aims to support rehabilitation, monitor the risk of falls in the elderly and analyze gait.

In the field of biomedicine, a research team from International University introduced a smart brain signal measurement system.

Associate Professor, Dr. Ha Thi Thanh Huong, lecturer at International University, said that the system receives and processes electroencephalographic (EEG) signals in real time, identifies brain activity patterns related to imaginary movement and converts them into 8 cursor control directions. The toolkit aims to support people with limited mobility and neurorehabilitation applications through computer interaction without physical movement.
