The propsed model is an insole for individuals with peripheral neuropathy conditions, where the peak plantar pressure value is measured at specified locations of the foot by means of a pressure sensor, which can be accessed via⯠a mobile applications; Simultaneously, a stimulation is given at acupressure points of the foot to relieve pain at definite intervals of time, based on the signals from the controller. A controller is being used to perform these operations which will be transmitted to the mobile application via Bluetooth terminal.
