Foot Pressure Monitoring By Physiological Parameters And Early Detection Of Pvd

Abstract

In today's demanding lifestyles, prolonged standing and sudden movements often lead to fatigue, affecting individuals, especially athletes, who rely on optimal foot performance. Additionally, conditions like Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) pose significant health risks, necessitating early detection for effective management. To address these concerns, we propose integrating foot pressure monitoring technology with physiological parameters such as heart rate, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), and temperature. This holistic approach aims to develop a comprehensive monitoring system capable of early PVD detection. By embedding a GSM Module with a MAX30102 sensor into footwear, real-time foot pressure distribution can be monitored, providing insights into gait abnormalities and potential circulatory issues. Concurrently, monitoring physiological parameters offers additional indicators of vascular health and perfusion. This integrated system offers a proactive approach to foot health monitoring, empowering individuals, particularly athletes, to optimize performance and mitigate health risks associated with conditions like PVD. Early detection through this system can lead to timely interventions, enhancing overall well-being and quality of life.
