PhysioBiometrics Inc., a Montreal-based health technology company, has launched Heel2Toe™, a wearable device designed to promote safer walking and reduce the risk of falls among older adults.

The device clips onto a shoe and emits a sound when the wearer takes a proper heel-first step. This immediate feedback encourages better walking mechanics and helps users retrain their gait over time. Early studies have shown encouraging results, including measurable improvements in walking distance for individuals who use the device compared to those who exercise alone.

Heel2Toe™ can be used at home or in rehabilitation settings, providing an accessible and low-cost way to support mobility, balance, and confidence in daily life.
