Dynamic pressure monitoring is necessary particularly for diabetic & polio patients eventually leading to gangrene and amputation. It uses a horizontally placed transparent Acrylic plate with a webcam placed below facing upwards. Light from a IR LED strips entered the acrylic plate from a side and traversed the thickness through total internal reflection. The scattered IR light rays are recorded as an image by the IR based webcam. Software on Matlab platform was developed to grab and analyze image to display dynamic pressure distribution in artificial color contours. Intensities of pressure at user chosen points were also provided. The developed system worked with satisfaction and is being used for clinical assessment regularly.
