Foot monitoring system that generates an indication of how much shoe cushioning life remains in a shoe
First Claim
1. A foot monitoring system comprising:
- a measurement circuit configured to measure impacts from a foot wearing a shoe repetitively striking a surface while a person is walking/running; and
an alert circuit that is configured to;
monitor the measured impacts while the person is walking/running; and
compare a peak pulse segment of measurements of at least one impact to another segment of measurements that is outside the peak pulse segment of the measurements of the at least one impact; and
generate an indication of how much shoe cushioning life remains for the shoe based on the comparison of values of the peak pulse segment of the measurements of the at least one impact to the other segment of the measurements that is outside the peak pulse segment of the measurements of the at least one impact.

Abstract
A foot monitoring system includes a measurement circuit and an alert circuit. The measurement circuit measures sideways roll of a person'"'"'s foot while the person is walking/running. The alert circuit determines that the person should change sideways spacing between the person'"'"'s feet to change further measured values of the sideways roll of the person'"'"'s foot toward preferred sideways roll values, and generates a notification that indicates to the person to change the sideways spacing between the feet. The foot measurement circuit may determine how much shoe cushioning life remains for a shoe worn by the person in response to comparison of values a peak pulse segment of impact measurements to another segment of the impact measurements that is outside the peak pulse segment.
