Abstract
This project presents the development of a smart insole designed to measure plantar pressure distribution. The research began by replicating a design by Voltera for a primitive smart insole to grasp the circuitry and process needed to construct the final prototype. The design consisted of three layers. A protective layer of paper was placed at the top, the second layer was a pressure sensitive carbon sheet (Velostat), and the bottom layer was silver tracings printed by the Voltera NOVA on a plastic substrate. By applying varying amounts of pressure on the system, data was observed using a Micro:bit and its software. Following the success of this initial experiment, a final prototype was constructed. This final prototype uses an array of force sensitive resistors (FSRs) to more accurately map pressure data. Each FSR was connected through a custom circuit printed by the Voltera NOVA to an Arduino for data analysis. Due to time constraints, a complete functional system wasn’t produced. However, further development and research are planned.
