Description
Summary:Various foot complications, such as those due to diabetic mellitus(DM)-Diabetic Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy (DSPN), and Diabetic Foot Ulcer (DFU), could potentially be easily avoided by continuously monitoring plantar (foot sole) temperature at home. Systems, which can measure plantar temperature in real-time, still need investigation. This work has reported the synthesis, design, characterization, and implementation of a Laser-Induced Graphene (LIG) based smart insole capable of measuring plantar temperature. The solution provides an application for acquiring and storing the plantar temperature maps. Our proposed solution is lightweight, cheaper, and comparable in sensitivity, Limit of Detection, Range of Detection, Response Time, and Recovery time than other available solutions. The reported work is the first research where the LIG with excellent properties has been used in insoles. It can be used to generate temperature maps that effectively detect those at high risk of DFU and identify patients with severe DSPN.
