Paper Title
Design of Smart Insole System for Early Detection of Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcers are a major complication of diabetes. They occur when there is a full-thickness skin loss on the foot due to nerve or blood vessel damage in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. People with diabetes may lose sensation in their feet, making it difficult for them to feel pain or changes in temperature. This is due to high blood sugar levels damaging the nerves, leading to peripheral neuropathy. About 50% of adults with diabetes experience peripheral neuropathy, increasing the risk of foot injuries like cuts, bruises, and pressure sores. If not treated, these injuries can lead to foot ulcers and, in severe cases, lower leg amputation. To help prevent and detect foot ulcers early, the Smart Insole was developed. This device monitors the skin temperature of the foot and can identify temperature differences in six different foot regions. If the temperature difference exceeds 2.2°C, it will alert the diabetic patient, indicating a high risk of ulceration in the area. The device sends notifications through a mobile application, eliminating the need for frequent hospital visits. By collecting and storing data in the cloud, it provides real-time information on the likelihood of developing a foot ulcer. The use of smart diabetic soles offers a convenient and non-invasive way to monitor foot health, ultimately improving the quality of life for diabetic patients Keywords - Diabetic Foot Ulcers - Peripheral Neuropathy –Smart Insole –Non-invasive-Mobile Application
