What powers ReNUSHU

We are a CMU ETC student team collaborating with Magnes AG. NuShu smart shoes provide real-time gait estimation and gentle haptic cues. Our system turns those signals into adjustable challenges aligned with clinical goals. Clinicians set targets, tune difficulty in seconds, and review clear session summaries. We combine game design, engineering, art, and user research to translate rehab goals into play.

How ReNUSHU creates meaningful movement

A system that blends smart-shoe sensing, motivating game loops, and PT-friendly tools to support better practice—step by step.

Real-time Gait Sensing

NuShu smart shoes capture heel-raise and reactive-stepping data with clinical-grade accuracy, turning physical-therapy movements into measurable interactions.

Engaging Exergames

Custom-designed minigames transform repetitive PT exercises into playful tasks, keeping patients motivated and immersed.

PT-friendly Dashboard

Clinicians view live performance data, adjust exercise intensity, and track patient progress—all from a simple, tablet-based interface.

Designed With Real PTs

Developed through continuous playtests and feedback from professional physical therapists to ensure safety, usability, and clinical relevance.
