Application of artificial muscle e-rubber for healthcare sensing: verification of measurement properties as a smart insole by Hidemasa Yoneda, Hidemasa Yoneda, Takashi Yamaga, Takeshi Fujiwara, Yoko Komori, Masatoshi Shimada, Yuki Kato, Shintaro Oyama, Shingo Shimoda, Michiro Yamamoto, Hitoshi Hirata

“…However, for the sensor embedded within the insole housing, the coefficient of variation increased to less than 8%, and the confidence interval was 1.5%, likely owing to the influence of gaps within the insole structure. Regarding the load estimation equation, a 5th-order polynomial approximation (R2 >0.999) demonstrated the best fit, indicating that it is sufficiently accurate for healthcare sensing applications. …”
