In today's life, biomedical field reach at higher level because of highest development in portable devices and the equipment which are being helping the patients in monitoring and controlling different disease at different stages. But in many work environments, the worker has lot pressure and continuous movement on daily basis which tends to foot related diseases as getting exact details about the foot movement throughout the daily work routine is not possible. In available treatment options in such conditions, they are recommended to employ the compression therapy delivered by bandage, medical-grade stockings, or pneumatic compression devices. As a result of this the patients may suffer from painful period which may cause amputation also especially in case of sensory neuropathy.While these forms of therapy can produce the slight improvements, still it is costly solution and patient remain an issues related to rehabilitation. As alternate of this need the wearable, wireless, portable health monitoring system have recently introduce as a low-cost solution for supervision of foot health condition monitoring. The proposed system is to design and implementation of wearable device for foot for diabetic person for disease monitoring where the system will be capable to detect the level of foot ulcers related issues along with daily exercise level monitoring.

“…Despite the general technical soundness of this system, its size does not allow to use it in universal foot pressure measurement settings. In other applications, sensing foot pressures can help to monitor the risk for amputations caused by a diabetic foot [20,6]. Dabiri et al ([6]) described an approach similar to ours, using a few pressure sensors and acceleration sensors which send their data to a portable device for post processing.…”

Analyzing foot pressure is helpful in clinical diagnosis. Possible applications include the diagnosis of back injuries, prevention of diabetic foot ulceration, and adaptation of insoles for orthopedic applications. Consequently, several approaches to measure foot pressure distributions exist. However, traditional systems exhibit one common drawback: They are non-mobile or at least obtrusive and therewith influence the measurement. In the case of stationary pressure plates, people are only able to measure the foot pressure distribution in an unnatural context. The few available portable systems feature a lot of cables and large data processing computers, which render them unusable for everyday activities or long term measurements. To address these issues we have implemented Planipes, a mobile and versatile foot pressure measurement platform. It consists of a small sensor module that measures foot pressure distribution in real time and a smartphone application that allows to visualize, record, and analyze the data. Both parts are wirelessly connected through Bluetooth. Our system allows to unobtrusively measure foot pressure in real time during everyday activities, and to give feedback to the user. In contrast to existing systems it allows to measure foot pressure of a person over a longer period and in a natural environment, without influencing or impeding the user.

Abstract-AutoGait is a mobile platform that autonomously discovers a user's walking profile and accurately estimates the distance walked. The discovery is made by utilizing the GPS in the user's mobile device when the user is walking outdoors. This profile can then be used both indoors and outdoors to estimate the distance walked. To model the person's walking profile, we take advantage of the fact that a linear relationship exists between step frequency and stride length, which is unique to individuals and applies to everyone regardless of age. Autonomous calibration invisible to users allows the system to maintain a high level of accuracy under changing conditions. AutoGait can be integrated into any pedometer or indoor navigation software on handheld devices as long as they are equipped with GPS. The main contribution of this paper is two fold: (1) we propose an autocalibration method that trains a person's walking profile by effectively processing noisy GPS readings, and (2) we build a prototype system and validate its performance by performing extensive experiments. Our experimental results confirm that the proposed auto-calibration method can accurately estimate a person's walking profile and thus significantly reduce the error rate.
