Here's what was written about BCAM in Time magazine supplemental.
A friend faxed it to me:

GOOD FOR THE SOLE

If your feet always ache by the end of the day, relief may soon be on the way. The "smart shoe" from BCAM International, a work in progress, can be programmed to inflate to add support or deflate to ease pressure, as needed or gradually during the day. The main mechanism (computer chip, sensors, microvalve and pump) is smaller than a TicTac box and can be hidden inside a shoe's heel or arch. A built-in air bladder surround the foot. BCAM developed a similar device for the 1998 Cadillac Seville STS; it adjusts the front seats according to a person's size and shape. As for the smart shoe, BCAM hopes it will not only quiet your barking dogs but also help prevent more serious problems for diabetics and arthritis sufferers.
