Layer 1
Pressure sensors
Seven sensing zones near the top surface, where the foot meets the insole.
The product
The BOUND insole.
A thin sensing insole for a player's own boots. It records how each foot meets the ground and sends it to a phone at the side of the pitch.
V1 prototype boards are currently undergoing bench validation.
01 · Pressure
Seven zones under each foot.
Heel, midfoot, forefoot and toes. Each zone senses where and how hard the foot loads the ground, moment to moment.
02 · Motion
Movement context.
A motion sensor in each insole records acceleration, so loading can be read alongside how the player is moving.
03 · Timing
Every reading in order.
Readings are time-stamped and numbered, so gaps in the data can be spotted rather than hidden.
What's inside.
One foam insole, built in three parts. Simplified, not to scale.
Layer 2
Foam body
A single cushioned insole body that carries everything else.
Layer 3
Electronics island
Motion sensor, Bluetooth, memory and battery, recessed into the foam and protected.
From footstep to session.
Designed to need no internet on the pitch: data stays on the phone until it can upload.

Working towards
- Foot contact timing Research / planned
- Left/right comparison Research / planned
- Session loading from the ground up Research / planned
Each will be shown only once it has been validated against reference equipment.
BOUND is not commercially available. V1 measures pressure and acceleration only, not rotation. We do not claim that BOUND predicts or prevents injury.
