It is not easy to determine the time between diagnosis and inflammation in patients with type 2 diabetes foot disease. In severe cases, it can lead to ulceration or even amputation. During the development of the inflammation, there will be changes in temperature and blood oxygen saturation in the sole of the foot. Therefore, early monitoring can be an effective prevention and reminder. By integrating flexible conductive fibres, conductive ink and fabric, six nodes on the sole of the foot are monitored. Blood oxygen is monitored above the thumb using photoelectric sensors. The monitoring data signals from these two areas are transmitted to the integrated sensor on the top of the socks and then to the mobile app via Bluetooth. Blood oxygen saturation and temperature can be displayed in real time, and the data is also uploaded to ports such as doctors, communities and hospitals for clinical diagnosis. This study can effectively monitor and remind the inflammatory changes after diabetic foot disease, and change the way of health monitoring by design. Although this study does not have the function of treatment, it is the greatest value of designing intervention medical health - prevention reminder. |
