MUMBAI, India, July 11 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521034439 A) filed by IITI Drishti Cps Foundation, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on April 8, for 'device and method of measurement of plantar pressure of a user.'
Inventor(s) include Gaurav Kumar Bharti; Ibrar Jahan M A; and Anand Prakash Narayan.
The application for the patent was published on July 11, under issue no. 28/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a device (100) and method (600) for measurement of plantar pressure of a user. The device (100) consists of a plurality of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors (104) embedded in a wooden platform (202), covered by a silicone gel insole (204) for user comfort and even pressure distribution. When a user stands on the platform (202), the plurality of sensors (104) detects pressure variations, causing wavelength shifts in the reflected light. An optical interrogator (106) converts these shifts into digital data, which is processed to generate a detailed graphical pressure map. The device (100) uses AI algorithms to classify foot types and detect abnormalities, aiding in the diagnosis of conditions like diabetic foot ulcers, plantar fasciitis, and gait disorders. With high sensitivity, electromagnetic interference immunity, and real-time visualization, the device (100) is an effective solution for personalized treatment and continuous monitoring."
