Gait Monitoring Footwear Device for Submariners

This project involves designing and prototyping a resistance pressure sensor insole with 16 sensors to measure and analyze foot pressure distribution and gait patterns in real time for submariners. The goal is to monitor and detect cognitive fatigue and sleep deprivation by identifying deviations in gait. The system uses a voltage divider circuit, an Arduino microcontroller, and Arduino IDE to collect, process, and visualize data. Future iterations aim to optimize the design by reducing size, improving wearability, incorporating wireless connectivity, and an algorithm on MATLAB to detect the deviations, ensuring the insole is comfortable, accurate, and efficient for real-world applications.
