Abstract

Most difficult challenges facing the healthcare industry is Diabetes. It is a primary affliction of diabetic patients due to peripheral neuropathy that means “loss of sensation in the foot”. So this leads to ulcer increases which in many cases lead to the action of surgically cutting off the foot. We have constituting a new stage in a changing situation to introduce a wireless electronic orthotics shoes that composed of less weighted embedded systems with flexible and non-invasive sensors which can be used by diabetic patients. Thus the resulted in the escalations of weightless embedded systems through the continuous breakthrough in transistor technology by the development in processor performance. Thus the advancement of our system is composed of wireless and implanted technology that make it possible for remote healthcare sectors and telemedicine systems. It insisting of an real- time monitoring and continuous discretely analyze of how a patient’s behavior affects his/her physiological states and if supplement symptoms suffering from numbness and pain in foot. Our suggested system monitors feet motion, foot temperature and pressure distribution beneath the feet in real-time actions and also it classier the state of the patient. It also detects the conditions that had abilities that causes foot sores. Continuous feedback mechanism enables was enabled for a instance in case of any consequence behavior or condition a serving message wirelessly to the patient and the patient’scaretakers
