A piezoelectric flexible insole system for gait monitoring for the
Internet of Health Things
Abstract
Gait is closely associated with many chronic diseases. With the
development of the Internet of Health Things (IoHT), long-term gait
monitoring and corresponding analysis can be performed remotely,
reducing a patient’s time and traffic cost, while providing doctors more
valuable gait information. The presented work provides a feasible means
for real-time, long-term, and accurate gait monitoring in an IoHT
scenario. Through the experimental results, the high detection
sensitivity of 54 mN and responsivity of 163 mV/N are achieved, thereby
satisfying the need for analyzing various diseases. Furthermore, 16
hours continuous working time indicates its successful utilization
during long-term gait monitoring.
