Zephyr Technology has developed a device that could help diabetics prevent amputations and improve the quality of life for diabetics. They have created a high tech inner sensor insole that detects early stages of ulcers. The New Zealand government has so far invested $348,000 through the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology.

“Using sensor technology combined with novel algorithms, Zephyr makes smart fabrics that gather information on such things as heart beat, skin temperature, posture, activity and breathing rates. They are used for measuring performance and condition with applications in the health, defense and medical markets.”
