A smart solution for safer pointe work
Published June 17, 2025 Video
Two dancers teamed up with fellow Hopkins master's students to create a smart toe pad and ankle band designed to help prevent injuries in ballet dancers who perform en pointe. "The engineer in me started thinking, why aren't we using technology to better understand what is happening in the shoe that causes these injuries?" said Kaitlyn Kumar, a master's student in robotics.
