Human Performance Lab (CEO: Prof. Lee Tae-yong), an Ewha faculty startup company, was selected in the world's largest IT convergence exhibition, CES 2023, and operated a booth at the EUREKA PA STARTUP integrated pavilion held in Las Vegas, USA, from Jan 5 (Thu) to 8 (Sun).
Human Performance Lab was founded in 2021 by the research team of Professor Lee Tae-yong of the of Human Mechanics and Bioengineering through faculty startup support, and has developed an MVP "FitSole," an application that enables non-face-to-face customization of the insole, based on years of r foot biomechanics. While conventional customized insoles can only be made by visiting specialized she clinics to have your feet molded, FitSole is an innovative product that eliminates this cumbersome pro‹ users send a video of their feet to the company, which creates a three-dimensional model of their feet insoles that fit the model's shape. Using a three-dimensional foot model, the team performed a numerical simulation based on finite element analysis to optimize insole geometry and materials. This is a big advantage of F allows you to design a personalized insole that fits you perfectly.
Human Performance Lab has been performing well in government startup support programs, including being selected as the best company in the 2021 Preliminary Startup Package Program by the Korea Institute of Entrepreneurship Development. In addition, it was selected as the final team for the Lab Startup Explorer 2022, a public technology-based market-linked startup exploration support project, and the Global Acc Project in 2022, receiving excellent feedback in the final evaluation by completing the startup training prog Washington, D.C. and San Francisco, respectively.
In particular, this participation in CES 2023 was the result of FitSole's selection in the startup overseas ( support project (organized by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups), which recruited companies among those sales for the 2022 Global Acceleration Project. Changsoon Jang, a researcher at the Biomechanics Laboratory of the Department of Human Mechanics and Bioengineering, and master's students Kwon Chan-yi and Yeom Ha-eun operated the booth at the event, and 'FitSole, a technology that solves the problem of people with foot and low limb pain having to visit a hospital or store based on IT technology, has received great attention. Human Performance Lab, which has received and is discussing collaboration proposals from companies around the work plans to use this opportunity to develop a variety of insoles that reflects global demand.
