Low-cost insertable foot insoles that alleviate peripheral neuropathy-induced pain
Components: Arduino UNO 4 Wifi, Force-Sensitive Resistors, EMGs (not pictured), custom 3D printed insole, MatLab, Arduino IDE
Force sensing resistors (FSR) are used to measure the pressure distribution of the patient’s foot & detect abnormal changes. They are placed across 5 primary pain points of the foot. It measures changes in pressure compared to baseline pressures of walking/standing, which is fed into a recurrent neural network (ML algorithm).
