Abstract: A method for detecting foot and lower limb health changes includes collecting a first and second temperature reading at each time point over a time window, from a first and second plantar location on a user's body. The method further includes determining a temperature offset and applying the temperature offset to the first and second series of temperature readings to yield a first and second series of offset temperature data. Irrelevant offset temperature data is identified and removed from the first and second series of offset temperature data to yield a first and second series of processed temperature data. A temperature difference at each time point in the time window is determined by comparing the temperature readings or processed temperature data and a foot health change flag is generated if the average of the temperature differences over the time period exceeds a foot health change threshold.

Abstract: A method and assembly for acquiring pressure data. A pressure sensor is applied to a target surface on an individual. A calibrator and a processing element are in communication with the pressure sensor. Processing element receives pressure data and provides an integrated pressure value over a measurement time period. The integrated pressure value is compared to an alert value and to a change condition value. Where an alert value is exceeded, an alert is transmitted to an output device for display. Where a change condition value is exceeded, a measurement parameter of the pressure sensor is changed, or the calibrator is applied to the pressure sensor to recalibrate the pressure sensor to a recalibrated pressure range.
