Abstract [en]

To address the growing demand for accurate and reliable wearable technologyin health monitoring and fitness tracking, this report presents a novel stepcounter integrated into a shoe. The goal is to enhance the precision of stepcounting and provide valuable health metrics, such as calorie burning. Theapproach involves a custom-designed circuit board that processes the signalfrom the piezoelectric disks, and an algorithm is developed to accuratelycount steps. The final phase involves constructing a functional prototype forextensive real-world testing. After testing and simulations, the systemdemonstrated a high level of accuracy in step counting. It successfullyprocessed and analyzed step data, providing insightful health metrics thatcould be used for fitness tracking. Lastly, the prototype achieved its goal ofaccurate step counting but also proved to be a significant contribution to thefield of wearable technology. But it could be further improved to have betterdurability and not break. This advancement has the potential to improve thereliability and effectiveness of fitness-tracking devices.
