Hardware & TechnologyEngineering worn under every step.
A layered wearable system — conductive-fabric electrodes, dual-independent Bluetooth PCBAs, and constant-current EMS output — built around classical TCM foot reflex zones and modern safety engineering.
Construction
Four layers, one continuous circuit.
-
01
Conductive-fabric electrode surface
Mapped to classical TCM foot reflex zones, delivering EMS pulses directly against the sole.
-
02
Flexible pulse-electronics layer
Constant-current output circuitry with over-current, over-voltage, short-circuit, and over-temperature protection.
-
03
Cushioning support layer
Absorbs impact and keeps the electrode layer in consistent contact through a full day of wear.
-
04
Base insulation layer
Separates the electronics from the shoe interior and protects against moisture ingress.
Constant-current safety protections are described in Nexmove's patent draft and presented here as an engineering safety feature, not an independently certified medical claim.
Proprietary Architecture
No master. No slave. Two independent brains.
Most connected insoles pair one side as a relay for the other. Nexmove's left and right insoles each carry their own Bluetooth 5.0 radio, PCBA, and battery — fully independent, with no master-slave relationship — while remaining synchronized and individually controllable from a single companion app.
Patent-pending technology. Nexmove's dual-independent Bluetooth architecture, magnetic charge alignment, motion-based wake/sleep, and six-waveform mode system are covered by a filed patent application.
5.0Bluetooth Standard
2×Independent BLE Radios
QRPairing Method
90 Combinations
Six modes. Fifteen intensities. One app.
Every mode targets a different rhythm and frequency range, echoing distinct traditional Chinese massage techniques translated into programmable EMS waveforms.
Acupuncture
5–15 HzDeep-focus pulses for sleep preparation and slow-wind-down sessions, mirroring the gentle, sustained stimulation of acupuncture practice.
Use case: Deep focus / sleep prepClassic Massage
10–25 HzThe daily default — a balanced, all-purpose pulse pattern suited for everyday wear and general relaxation.
Use case: Daily defaultTapping
30–50 HzBrisk, percussive pulses designed as a morning energizer to wake the feet before the day begins.
Use case: Morning energizerTuina
15–30 HzFirmer, kneading-style pulses aimed at recovery and deep tension release after a long day on your feet.
Use case: Recovery / deep tensionGua Sha
20–40 HzA scraping-style rhythm inspired by traditional Gua Sha technique, intended for a detox reset and circulation support.
Use case: Detox reset / circulationCirculation
5–60 HzA sweeping frequency range that cycles from low to high, designed as an end-of-day flow to close out long standing or travel days.
Use case: End-of-day flow

Safety Engineering
Designed with protective limits, not just power.
Nexmove's output circuitry is constant-current with layered protections against over-current, over-voltage, short-circuit, and over-temperature conditions. These protections are described in Nexmove's patent draft and presented as engineering safety features.
Nexmove is a wellness-grade device, not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. See full safety notices and contraindications on the Support & FAQ page.
