PRESS · GROUND_TRUTH™
On the record.
Everything we have announced, dated and unedited. If a release is ever revised, the change is noted on it rather than quietly made. Below the announcements you will find the facts, images and contacts journalists usually have to ask for.
Below, in the order you will meet them: the announcements themselves, then the standing material a journalist needs. A media contact who is a person. The boilerplate paragraph we use in every release, unchanged. The company facts. The brand and image assets. And the lines we will not cross, so you can check a quote against them before you print it.
Executive biographies live on the team page, and the papers behind the method are on the whitepapers page. This is a working page for people on deadline, so it carries no hero image and nothing that has to load before you can read it.
What we have announced.
Reverse chronological, dated in full, and left up. A release is an HTML page at a permanent URL, never a PDF and never taken down - a deleted release reads as a retraction. Nothing is quietly revised: a correction appears on the release as a correction, with the date it was made.
Bio_Sole to exhibit at Identity Week America in Washington, D.C.
Bio_Sole will show the insole and the boundary it keeps at Identity Week America on September 2 and 3, 2026. Media can book time at the stand, or somewhere quieter away from it.
The exact publication date of the announcement above is being confirmed, and will be written out in full here once it is. Nothing on this index is removed or renumbered when it is.
Bio_Sole at Identity Week America.
Bio_Sole will be at Identity Week America in Washington, D.C. on September 2 and 3, 2026. The stand carries the same story as this site: the body is the signal, and the measurement stays with the person who made it.
What is on the stand.
The insole itself, and a walk-through of where the signal is allowed to go, stage by stage. Visitors can watch a verification resolve and see what stops at the boundary.
Booking time.
Leave your card below with your outlet and your deadline and we will hold a slot - at the stand, or somewhere quieter away from it.
Talk to a person.
For interviews, comment, or anything you cannot find here, use the contact below. We answer on deadline, and we will tell you when we cannot answer something rather than not reply.

About Bio_Sole.
One paragraph, used identically in every release, in the press kit, and anywhere a partner needs a company description. It does not get reworded per release, because this is the description that propagates.
Bio_Sole builds identity technology that confirms a person by the way they walk. Its smart insole fits inside an ordinary shoe, reads how the wearer stands, bears weight and moves, and verifies them continuously on the device itself. The biometric never leaves the insole; systems that rely on it receive only a signed yes or no, an approach the company calls Known, Not Shown. Bio_Sole works to Ground_Truth™, its own published standard for measurement that can account for itself. Insoles are manufactured in the United States by Atlantic Footcare, a Bio_Sole subsidiary, and data infrastructure is hosted in Canada. Bio_Sole is a general wellness product.
Short version, for tight formats

Images and logos.
Approved images, logos and executive portraits are free to use in editorial coverage with a credit to Bio_Sole. Please do not alter the logo or crop the product images. Ask the press desk for the kit and we will send it, with real alt text for every frame in it.
What is in it.
Logos in colour and in a single colour, product images of the insole, executive portraits, short video clips, ready-to-use quotes, the boilerplate as a text file, and the naming note below.
How to write the name.
Bio_Sole, with an underscore and a capital B and S. Ground_Truth™ takes the underscore and the mark on first use. The product is a smart insole - not a wearable device, and not a medical device.
What we will not say.
The restraints are the part worth reading, because anyone can list what their technology does. If a sentence attributed to us crosses one of these lines, it is not ours - check it with us and we will correct it in the open.
No medical claims.
We do not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent anything, and we will not put a clinical conclusion in front of a reader. We describe movement, and we flag a change from a person's own baseline. Deviation, not diagnosis.
No unearned certification.
We do not claim a certification we have not finished earning, and we do not publish a figure we cannot source. Every figure in a release is sourced inline, in the release.
No claim of objective reality.
We do not say our measurements show objective truth, because no instrument delivers that. Every one gives an estimate with an error attached, ours included. What ours adds is attribution: whose, what, when - provable afterwards.
No claim beyond the evidence.
Nothing we say reaches further than the evidence we hold for it, and we make no forward-looking product promises: "will be able to" is a claim. Where we are going and where we are standing are different sentences, and we will tell you which is which every time you ask.
What journalists ask first
How should Bio_Sole be written?
Bio_Sole, with an underscore and a capital B and S. The platform's measurement standard is Ground_Truth™, with the trademark symbol on first use. The company's full legal name is Bio_Sole International Group.
Is Bio_Sole a medical device?
Bio_Sole is positioned as a general wellness product. It is not a diagnostic tool, and it makes no medical claims.
Where is the biometric stored?
On the insole itself. The walk signature never leaves the device, and it is never stored as an image of anyone, anywhere. What crosses the boundary is a yes or a no. Bio_Sole calls this Known, Not Shown.
Who manufactures the insole, and where is the data held?
The insoles are manufactured in the United States by Atlantic Footcare, a Bio_Sole subsidiary. The data infrastructure is designed separately and hosted in Canada.
Can I get imagery, video, or a demonstration?
Yes. Photography and video are available to media on request, and working demonstrations are offered rather than staged product theatre. Leave your card through the press desk on this page and say which assets you need.
Who can I interview?
The people who built the platform, including the founder and the leads for AI and for insurance. Analyst briefings are also available. Tell us your beat and your deadline and we will match you to the right person.
How do I confirm a quote or a figure before publication?
Send it to the press desk and a person will check it against the boilerplate on this page. If we have published something that crosses our own line, we correct it publicly and say what changed.
Will Bio_Sole comment on named partners, revenue, or regulatory plans?
No. Partner names, financial figures, and future regulatory plans are held off public surfaces. If a claim in one of those areas is attributed to us, it did not come from this desk.
Reach a person.
Tell us your outlet or firm, your beat, and your deadline if you have one. Deadlines are respected here, and a person - not a queue - reads every message that comes through this door.
Watch us earn it.
Ground_Truth™ is also our podcast: a company asking itself the hard questions in public, with guests who have no reason to be gentle. The standard is easier to judge tested than asserted.
