Monitoring Insole Shoes Condition Using Internet of Things

Abstract

Dermatitis frequently affects specific anatomical regions, notably the facial and foot areas. Human conduct, encompassing sock usage, holds the potential to influence both microclimatic conditions within shoes and ambient humidity. This study introduces a comprehensive examination framework tailored for employment within Telkom University, enabling the evaluation of sock-wearing effects on shoe humidity and the correlation between physical activity and perspiration levels. Employing the ESP32 microcontroller, the BME280 sensor facilitates tripartite parameter measurement—pressure, humidity, and temperature. This study outlines a continuous data transmission approach, with sensor values relayed at 15-second intervals following sensor activation cessation. Utilizing a foot-mounted sensor configuration, individual monitoring ensues, with constant scrutiny of body and insole temperatures. While the ambient temperature remains static, humidity levels persist, underscoring the need for an Internet of Things (IoT)-based insole monitoring prototype. The proposed methodology embodies the essence of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4.0) and inter-device communication, underpinning real-time cloud-based data storage. This innovative approach demonstrates its potential to combat podiatric afflictions on a national scale.
