IoT based wearable smart insole

Healthcare is one of the fastest growing sectors in the era of technological transformation. Various verticals across healthcare products and services are innovating at a faster rate than ever, and leveraging new technologies to improve the quality of services (QoS) and stay competitive. The global market for self-monitoring health technologies is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.3% from $20.7 billion in 2017 to reach $71.9 billion by 2022 [1], While there are numerous independent health monitoring products available for healthcare providers and consumers, this paper primarily focuses on a non-intrusive health monitoring system by combining Internet of Things (IoT) and e-commerce platform. The proposed product is a wearable smart shoe insole, which senses and tracks different attributes such as pressure, temperature, and humidity and then stores the data in a secure cloud. The users can connect with the shoe insole by using a software application on their hand-held devices. This allows easy access to the collected data and allows sharing with other users/community and/or the service providers, thereby providing the user a complete personalized end-to-end smart foot monitoring solution, at a relatively lower price and ease of use.
