    Diabetic neuropathy is a debilitating complication of diabetes that is often diagnosed long after irreversible damage has occurred in a patient. Diagnosis of the condition commonly occurs when examinations reveal physical changes in foot structure and ulcers of the foot; such damage reveals the condition but offers no chance at prevention. To better predict diabetic neuropathy and prevent damage, pressure sensors can be used to detect the onset of the condition before damage occurs. While several pressure sensing and foot mapping systems are commercially available, each is prohibitively expensive, requires specialized software, or maps a limited portion of the foot. We present an affordable, scalable, and high resolution pressure sensing system that maps the entire foot with a novel force sensor and sensor grid. The grid is based on a matrixed array of 704 individual sensors actuated .. Read More»
