diabetic foot care with smart insole

Patients who have diabetes for many years can develop neuropathy, a reduced or complete lack of ability to feel pain in the feet due to nerve damage caused by elevated blood glucose levels over time. They can develop serious problems with their feet, even lead to amputation. Insole X is able to help manage foot pressure. Abnormal pressure distribution may not be noticed by diabetics in time due to sensory loss. The smart insole can detect the plantar pressure changes and give the wearers real time alerts tofacilitate daily foot care.

Imagine a world where your shoes alert you to a potential problem in your foot and send a text to your physician to look at this at your next follow-up! It really could happen with the help of Insole X, also known as a dynamic gait analysis system.

Integrated with fabric sensor array, InsoleX can collect high-precision foot data, including full plantar pressure data, foot movement data, time data, etc. They are visualized via a software installed on the controlling terminal like PCs or smart phones for wearers’ concern.

clinical applications

Measurement of ground contact forces can be used to assess the loads to which the human body is subjected in normal activities, like walking, or in more demanding situations such as in sports. With regard to clinical problems it is useful to compare the loads in the limb either between injured and non-injured or pre- and post-traumatic or -operative states. Otherwise, comparisons between patients and control groups are necessary. Measurement of the plantar pressure, i.e. the distribution of force over the sole of the foot, is useful as it provides detailed information specific to each region of contact. A wide variety of measurement systems are available on the market. These systems should be considered with respect to their technical specifications and the intended application. In general, one should distinguish between different sensor principles (resistive, capacitive, piezoelectric) and different devices (platform, insole, single transducer system). Platform systems are restricted to use in a laboratory setting (embedded in a walkway) and are used for barefoot measurements. Insole or single transducer systems can be used to record the plantar pressures within the shoe and therefore are appropriate to evaluate the effects of different shoe constructions or modifications like orthotics. Some of the precautions to be taken into account for reproducible measurements and the factors influencing pressure patterns have to be considered. Furthermore, the application of plantar pressure measurements to various clinical problems will be discussed.
