Abstract
The wearable devices are gaining its popularity in recent days. This paper presents the performances of our smart shoes as a wearable biomedical device in capturing the heart beat signal from dorsalis pedis. In common, heart beat are measured from artery that located on chest, hand, fingertip and ear or neck. Even though the pulse from dorsalis pedis has a smaller amplitude compare to the other artery location, the integrated sensor on our smart shoes can capture the signal wih high precision. The experiment had been conducted for several times to 3 groups of age of the healthy male and female, there are kid, mature, and elder. The obtain results show that the smart shoes sensor could measure the the dorsalis pedis pulse accurately. Compare with the common measurement and other commercial devices, our device gives a small gap in rms error, which is acceptable for clinical need.
