IT convergence self-care guide insole

Abstract

As a keen attention of health care and wellness is paid to a foot, from which health begins, many health care products combined with mobile technology have been introduced to related markets. The present study is aimed to propose an algorithm for sensor signal-based walking information analysis and develop an insole in which a multi-sensor is attached to it and protected a multi-sensor to the insole that is an important part of a shoe. In addition, this study developed an ambulation-based sensor module for self-care guide application by using Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) sensor that can automatically coaches user's convenience and individual activity.
