SOLECARE is a health-driven design solution that rethinks the role of the foot in daily wellness. Drawing on the idea that the foot is the “second heart” of the body, the product focuses on circulation, balance, and internal organ stimulation through pressure-based therapy. Each insole is equipped with modular, adjustable pressure nodes, targeting key reflex zones based on individual needs. The system supports users dealing with chronic pain, poor circulation, fatigue, or localized health issues—making it especially effective for elderly users. More than just footwear, SOLECARE functions as a smart wellness tool—merging comfort with ongoing therapeutic care. Whether worn as indoor slippers or recovery footwear, the design emphasizes mobility, independence, and daily vitality. Through intuitive, user-centered engineering, it turns an everyday act—walking—into a gentle but consistent health practice.
