One day in the future you might be able to buy shoes that do a better job than your trusty fitness tracker.
Verily is one of the other companies besides Google under the Alphabet umbrella, and the experimental, innovative “life sciences” firm apparently has some interesting tech on the way – smart shoes that can track your weight and detect falls.
The news comes from sources speaking to CNBC, sources who say it’s still early days for the shoes but that prototypes are already being shown off. As you might expect, the footwear will also track the steps you take through the day, saving you the hassle of strapping a fitness tracker to your wrist.
