The Study on Health Status Assessment Technology Using a Foot-Pressure Mat

In this study, we present a novel, non-invasive, and simplified health-assessment system based on a sensor-integrated foot-pressure mat. Our method eliminates the need for costly camera systems and elaborate imaging environments by allowing users simply to stand on the mat while wearing socks, capturing both plantar geometry and pressure distribution in a single measurement, with real-time data transmission and automated calibration features. Conventional approaches often require multiple cameras captures and introduce significant privacy concerns; in contrast, our system minimizes participant burden and preserves privacy. We employ a neuro-fuzzy inference model to estimate individual healthy-life expectancy, achieving a maximum estimation error of less than one year relative to theoretical benchmarks. The streamlined measurement protocol supports continuous monitoring for preventive care and daily health management, striking a balance between high usability and privacy protection. Ongoing work includes extensive validation across diverse age cohorts and investigation of the system’s robustness for long-term, real-world deployment.
