Walk With Path smart insoles bring connected foot monitoring into the discussion about healthy ageing. Its STRIDE-COM project, combining smart insoles with a digital monitoring platform, won the Prevention, Health & Longevity category at the 2026 SilverEco & Ageing Well International Awards in Cannes.
Maintaining independence involves more than being able to take the next step. It also means recognising changes that could make everyday movement more difficult. Walk With Path addresses this challenge through wearable technology designed to connect daily activity with information that individuals and care professionals can use.
The company develops tools for different mobility needs, from connected insoles to walking support for people living with Parkinson’s. The common thread is a focus on preserving participation in daily life through practical, wearable solutions.
Smart insoles that bring foot health into focus
On its website, Walk With Path presents Path Feel as a connected insole that measures pressure, temperature and movement during everyday activities. The system is designed to make changes in foot health more visible, with personalised information and a graded alert system.
For people managing diabetes, the intended application is to support earlier awareness of potential foot problems. Monitoring information can help inform a conversation with a healthcare professional; an alert is a prompt for assessment rather than a diagnosis.
STRIDE-COM: connecting mobility with preventive care
The STRIDE-COM project submitted to the SilverEco Awards brings together a smart insole and a digital platform to monitor gait, mobility and foot health. Its objective is to identify early signs of diabetes-related foot complications and support timely intervention.
Remote monitoring is central to the project’s approach. Rather than relying only on occasional observations, connected measurements are intended to add a view of everyday movement. For care providers, this creates an opportunity to consider prevention alongside the person’s activities, routines and independence.
A broader approach to walking support
Walk With Path also offers Path Finder, a separate device designed for people with Parkinson’s who experience freezing of gait. It projects a visual laser cue to help users initiate a step. This walking aid has a different purpose from the connected insoles at the centre of STRIDE-COM.
The distinction matters when choosing support: monitoring foot health and providing a cue for walking address different needs. Suitability depends on the individual and the intended use of each solution.
International recognition at the 2026 SilverEco Awards
Walk With Path won the Prevention, Health & Longevity Award at the 2026 SilverEco & Ageing Well International Awards. The distinction was presented during SilverNight on 14 September at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes.
The award highlights the role of prevention in ageing well. By linking wearable technology with mobility monitoring, STRIDE-COM explores how information gathered during daily life can support earlier attention to health risks while keeping independence in view.
