Abstract

A computerized system for monitoring information related to the power being generated by a user and blood glucose levels of the user, the system comprising: a shoe worn by the user, an electronic force sensor associated with the shoe, and a computer electronically coupled to the force sensor.

Claims

1. A computerized system for monitoring information related to the power being generated by a user and blood glucose levels of the user, the system comprising:

a shoe worn by the user, an electronic force sensor associated with the shoe, and a computer electronically coupled to the force sensor.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the force sensor is configured to measure force applied by a foot of a user within the shoe.

3. The system of claim 1, further comprising a glucose monitor configured for generating signals associated with blood glucose of the user, the glucose monitor being electronically coupled to the computer, wherein the computer processes the signals corresponding to the blood glucose and the force signals relative to time, and correlates the force and the blood glucose relative to one another.
