Abstract
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.
