The objective of this project is to further enhance the predictive performance of a wearable in-shoe foot temperature system to be utilised as a monitoring device for the foot
preservation of the diabetic patient. Through advanced analysis of foot temperature patterns, the system provides continuous monitoring of the peripheral circulatory perfusion,
which will allow early detection of complications such ulcer development, a major concern in the diabetic population as it can lead to severe foot complications.
