Abstract: Title: SMART MASSAGING INSOLE FOR FOOT PRESSURE MONITORING AND THERAPEUTIC SUPPORT This invention relates to a smart massaging insole for foot pressure monitoring and therapeutic support. It typically includes a force sensitive resistor (1), a temperature sensor (2), an inertial measurement unit (3), a microcontroller (4), a vibration motors (5), a peltier module (6), a haptic alert motor (7), a rechargeable lithium-ion (8), a boost 10 converter module (9), a tp4056 charging module (10), a flexible pcb (11), a rocker switch (12), and a multi-layered insole substrate (13). This invention provides an autonomous, closed-loop solution that proactively reduces foot fatigue and enhances circulation by automatically triggering localized vibration and thermal therapy the moment sustained pressure thresholds are detected, eliminating the need for manual 15 intervention or external devices. The applications of the Smart Massaging Insole include long-distance driving and occupational health monitoring, as well as diabetic foot care, sports rehabilitation, and geriatric fall prevention, where continuous pressure regulation and circulatory support are critical for safety and recovery.
