Description

Nowadays IoT (Internet of Things) devices are popularly used to monitor humans remotely in the healthcare sector. There are many IoT devices that are being introduced to collect data from human beings in a different scenario. These devices are embedded with sensors and controllers in them to collect data. These devices help to support many applications like a simple counting step to an advanced rehabilitation for athletes. In this research work, a mini wearable device is designed with multiple sensors and a controller. The sensors sense the environment and the controller collects data from all the sensors and sends them to the cloud in order to do the analysis related to the application. The implemented wearable device is a pair of footwear, that consists of five force sensors, one gyroscope, and one accelerometer in each leg. This prototype is built using a Wi-Fi enabled controller to send the data remotely to the cloud. The collected data can be downloaded as xlsx file from the cloud and can be used for different analyses related to the applications.
