The smart capsule bubble tile (SCBT) is an innovative flooring solution that combines acupressure-based reflexology with electromagnetic wave stimulation to enhance well-being. Designed for buildings and healthcare applications, SCBT integrates traditional construction techniques advanced healing technologies create a health-conscious, eco-friendly system. For durability thermal performance, tiles are manufactured using conventional concrete methods, enhanced aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃). Each contains multiple pressure point capsules featuring copper cap emits waves when exposed sunlight. This dual-function mechanism stimulates acupressure points on the feet, promoting better blood circulation, reducing stress, enhancing relaxation. heat release from caps further improves comfort energy flow in body, reinforcing benefits of reflexology. performance was extensively tested, demonstrating impressive physical functional properties. They exhibit flexural strength 4.6 N/mm2, emissivity 0.878, solar reflectance 0.842, water absorption rate 8.12%. In biomechanical assessments, showed significant balance posture correction. Users experienced 70.8% reduction lateral stance ellipse area eyes open 50.5% closed, indicating improved stability proprioception. By integrating into design, promotes holistic approach health. technology supports efficiency contributes preventive by musculoskeletal health fatigue. represents step creating built environments supporting human well-being, merging principles modern material science.
