Abstract

Gait analysis is important in the field of healthcare, due to its close relationship to chronic diseases. With the development of the Internet of Health Things (IoHT), long-term gait monitoring and corresponding analysis can be performed remotely, reducing a patient's time and traffic cost, while providing doctors more valuable gait information. In this paper, we present a piezoelectric insole gait monitoring system and its use in an IoHT architecture. Through the experimental results, the high detection sensitivity of 54 mN and responsivity of 163 mV/N are achieved, thereby satisfying the need for analyzing various diseases. Furthermore, the assembled system can continuously work for 16 hours, indicating its successful utilization when long-term gait monitoring is required. The presented work provides a feasible means for real-time, long-term, and accurate gait monitoring, prompting the development of gait analysis in the IoHT.
