Abstract
The invention relates to ways for determining, whether or not a person suffers from peripheral neuropathy. In order to make the generation of data for the determination easy for the person, the invention provides that sensor data from foot bottom pressure sensors (11, 12) used by the person to control computer games is used to determine, whether or not a person suffers from peripheral neuropathy.
Claims9
A computer implemented method for indicating, whether or not a person suffers from peripheral neuropathy,
- characterized in that the method comprises
- loading sensor data from foot bottom pressure sensors that were pressed between the feet of the person and the underground while the person was playing a predetermined computer game while controlling the computer game by exerting pressure on the pressure sensors via the person's feet, and
- analyzing the sensor data with an algorithm that is adapted to detect whether or not the person suffers from peripheral neuropathy based on the sensor data.
