This smart sole primarily counts the number of steps, weight, heart rate and calories burnt. It also measures the gesture of the foot of the person wearing it. The sole indicates if the person has accidentally fallen (twisted or fallen both) and has an emergency alarm which can be called out after putting the feet in a particular orientation and can be set by the user. Further scope of this feature includes calling your near and dear ones directly through that foot orientation when any such situation arrives.
Apart from this major advantage, this sole is completely self-sustainable. The piezo sensors are used for calculating the steps and to each moved step, an almost 3.5V electricity is produced for a small period of time. This can be stores in a battery which will power the sole. So, we need not use the electricity from the main supply in our house.
The target audience can be anyone who wishes to use it but it is so much beneficial for aged people and for women safety (considering the gesture features).
A major challenge was to send the dataset (8 sets) and recieve in the same way in the app. However, I resolved it by using a csv format and encoding the same in thoe code. Another challenge was to calibrate the Gyro sensor as per the need so that the model is overall feasible. This has also been resolved. However, for long run I need to shift it into self sustainable power source which is a challenge but can be solved.
