Vibrating Insoles
Read full descriptionHide full description
An app to go with custom hardware provided by BridgeSource Medical to the University of Texas department of Kinesiology. It uses an iPhone as a nice GUI to interact with Bluetooth hardware that is intended to communicate with customized hardware with very specific Bluetooth UUIDs. This app doesn't collect or transmit any data except to attempt to control the custom hardware. Without the associated hardware, this app is no more than a BLE scanner.
