An apparatus is provided for use with a prosthetic system. The apparatus includes a controller (500) and a wireless smart device (508). The controller operates to gather data and derive prosthetic information from a plurality of sensors (503, 504, 512), and transmits the prosthetic information over a wireless radio link, where the controller and the plurality of sensors are disposed within the interior of a prosthetic socket (303). The wireless smart device is coupled to the controller via the wireless radio link, and receives the prosthetic information, and provides visual and audio representations of the prosthetic information to a user.
