摘要: One important health problem that could affect diabetics is diabetic foot syndrome, as risk of ulceration, neuropathy, ischemia and infection. Unnoticed minor injuries, subsequent infection ulceration may end in a amputation. Preliminary studies have shown relationship between increased skin temperature asymmetries the same regions both feet. In preulceration phase, to develop smart device able control these types patients avoid this might be very useful. A statistical analysis has been carried out with sample data obtained from 93 individuals, whom 44 are 49 nondiabetics among them 43% men 57% women. Data thermographic camera successful providing set interest, where influence individual, behavior several variables subjects provides mathematical model. Finally, an in-depth existing sensors situated those positions, namely, heel, medial midfoot, first metatarsal head, fifth toe allowed for development sock store temperatures every few minutes mobile device.
