Dynamic Visualization Of Plantar Pressure Data

Termote, Nicolas
June 10, 2022

Today, 415 Million people worldwide are living with diabetes. This disease can cause multiple problems, noticeably peripheral neuropathy, a problem that develops in nearly 50% of adults with diabetes during their lifetime. Peripheral neuropathy causes morbidity - pain, foot ulcers, and lower limb amputation -are common with this illness, and are caused by increased plantar pressures and a loss of pain sensation in the foot. The LAI lab at EPFL is looking for ways of tackling this problem, and possibly changing the life of multiple people. The idea being the reduction of symptoms by redistributing the plantar pressure of the patients using smart wearable shoe soles; as well as preventive visualization of this pressure distribution, with data analysis functions that can detect possible ulcers and other disorders before they develop. This project therefore implies the creation of a smart device, wirelessly connected to a computer, that can analyse the data and provide live feedback on the pressure distribution. As well as an easy-to-use interface, that can possibly be used by future doctors or patients.
