Abstract

Recently, technologies for internet of things have been rapidly advanced with development of network. Also interest in smart healthcare that informs about motion information of users has been growing. In this paper, a system that is monitoring the weight on both feet by using aduino and FSR(Force Sensitive Resistor) Sensor is implemented. A 4-channel sensor driver module was implemented to measure a more accurate weight value. It is monitoring the weight on both feet by the using an application for either your PC or mobile device. Mobile applications can contribute to reducing human damage by sending messages along with location in emergency situations, such as injuries caused by falls during outdoor activities.
