Design and manufacturing a sensing system for diabetics to control inflammation growth and humidity for above knee amputee

The discussion took place on Sunday 3/26/2023 in the hall of Dr. Muhammad Makiya / Deanship of the College of Engineering. The discussion committee was chaired by Prof. Dr. Mohsen Jabr Joweij / Al-Farahidi University and the membership of all Assistant Professor Dr. Ali Farouk Hassan / College of Medicine n/ Al-Nahrain University and Assistant Professor Dr. Yasser Yarub / College of Engineering / Al-Nahrain University. The thesis was conducted under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Jumaa Salman Jiyad / College of Engineering / Al-Nahrain University and Assistant Professor Dr. Firas Muhammad Ghani / College of Medicine / Al-Nahrain University.

In the thesis, a medical system was designed and manufactured to monitor and determine the susceptibility to the formation of diabetic foot ulcers. This system is designed for diabetics for daily monitoring, as it reduces frequent visits to the doctor and prevents the occurrence of complications that may include amputation or death in the worst cases and reduces the cost of treatment as well, because diabetics suffer from weakness in the peripheral nerves, which causes a lack of feeling in the foot and lack of The feeling of pain when the ulcer is formed, and also poor blood circulation, so the treatment of the ulcer is difficult and slow because not enough blood has reached the area. Therefore, this system consists of multiple sensors that sense oxygen saturation, temperature, humidity, and plantar pressure, respectively. These sensors are distributed on a flexible sole inside the shoe to monitor the soles of the foot. These sensors monitor vital signs that indicate the presence of diabetic foot ulcers, and use the recorded data to predict them through decision-making processes. The microcontrollers used control and receive data from all sensors and send it via Wi-Fi to the patient via a graphical user interface (GUI) for monitoring through smart devices using IoT technology.

The thesis was accepted as it fulfilled the requirements for obtaining a master's degree, with an excellent grade.
