“Voetzweer” means foot ulcer in Dutch language. Nowadays Diabetic foot ulcer is more common in neuropathy diabetic patients which occur due to lack of protective sensation from sensory neuropathy. The vascular complication in diabetic patient results in wound and nerve weakness in the foot. This leads to poor blood circulation to the foot due to which there is an increase in the pressure and temperature on the foot region. This may cause painful injury, trauma and severe infection may lead to lower limb amputation [1]. So prevention and early detection of foot ulceration are needed. Till date there are many research works happening to detect the foot ulcer in early stage, with pressure or temperature of the foot. The main aim of this project is to incorporate pressure, temperature and humidity sensors on the same foot which increases the accuracy of early detection. The signal from each sensor is given to Arduino for data acquisition and processing. Then voltage signal after amplification is given to the LabVIEW (the graphical programming environment) for real-time monitoring and representation of output. LCD screen and buzzer are included for displaying the message and alerting with a sound. If the values are within in normal ranges, LCD will display “Wow! your foot is healthier” and buzzer will be in off condition. If there is any abnormality detected then it will display “Oops! Foot Ulcer” and buzzer will alert with a sound.
