Diabetic foot complications can be monitored with an in-shoe electronic system. This system tracks temperature, pressure, and humidity to help prevent skin breakdown in patients with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Diabetology
  • Podiatry

Background:

  • Patients with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy are at high risk for foot injuries due to unnoticed trauma.
  • These injuries can lead to severe skin breakdown and complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and develop an electronic in-shoe monitoring system.
  • To assess the system's ability to detect key environmental parameters within the shoe.

Main Methods:

  • An electronic system was integrated into a shoe, incorporating sensors for temperature, pressure, and humidity.
  • Pressure sensors were placed at the heel and under three metatarsal heads.
  • Temperature sensors were located under the medial metatarsal head and heel; a humidity sensor was in the toe.

Main Results:

  • Pressure sensor data showed high correlation (r > 0.85) with known values, even after prolonged use.
  • The system successfully collected temperature, pressure, and humidity data from within the shoe.

Conclusions:

  • The developed in-shoe electronic system demonstrates reliable data collection for monitoring foot conditions.
  • This technology has the potential to provide valuable feedback to patients, aiding in the prevention of diabetic foot complications.
