Sensor shoe for monitoring the condition of a foot

The method of monitoring the foot of a diabetic for foot injury in a shoe comprising the steps of:

• a) mounting in said shoe a plurality of sensors for sensing conditions of the foot when positioned within said shoe, said shoe comprising a base and an inner sole positioned atop said base, said plurality of sensors positioned about an area of said inner sole, heel and toes for sensing a number of conditions to which said foot is exposed and generating signals representative of the sensed conditions;
• b) installing in said shoe a microcomputer connected to receive said generated signals from said plurality of sensors for analyzing said signals by comparing the measured values to certain threshold values to determine if treatment of said foot with medication is required due to existence of a critical situation;
• c) mounting on the outside of said shoe a digital display comprising a light emitting diode positioned on the outer side of said shoe and connected to said microcomputer for displaying a message indicative of the conditions analyzed by said microcomputer, said display including an alarm for indicating a condition requiring attention;
• and
• d) inserting said foot into said shoe thereby enabling the monitoring of said foot.
