Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disorder impacting millions globally, with diabetic foot issues being a considerable issue due to peripheral neuropathy and inadequate circulation. Foot ulcers and infections are typical complications that can lead to serious outcomes, including amputations. Early detection and prevention are keys in addressing these problems. This project intends to design and build revolutionary smart socks that combine temperature sensors to monitor foot temperature in real-time. The smart socks will enable continuous monitoring of foot temperature, enabling for early detection of potential foot issues. The temperature data will be delivered wireless to a mobile application or cloud platform, where it will be examined and alarms will be created if any abnormal temperature swings are discovered. Patients with diabetes may be able to take proactive steps to avoid foot issues and enhance their general quality of life thanks to this creative solution, which has the potential to completely transform foot care. These smart socks can lower the risk of amputations and enhance the health of diabetic patients by enabling prompt interventions and delivering early warnings. In order to guarantee that the product satisfies the needs of the intended audience and effectively prevents diabetic foot issues, the development of these smart socks will entail cooperation with patients, engineers, and healthcare professionals. All things considered, this project has the potential to significantly enhance the lives of millions of people globally and manage diabetic foot care.
