A device, system, and method for detecting and monitoring the health condition of a patient's feet by using a foot worn sensing, data collecting, and data processing device. The foot worn device further communicates with either remotely located computers or a proximally located handheld device to provide the wearer with vital sign parameters about the wearer's diabetic condition. Additionally, the data processing includes the use of artificial intelligence methods to assimilate the vital sign parameters and arrive at a prediction about the wearer's diabetic condition.

Temperature of the extremities is a significant factor in temperature control of the body due to the presence of thermal receptors in the extremities. The brain uses signals from these thermal receptors as an indication of environmental conditions, and responds accordingly. Thermal monitoring of extremities and adjustment of extremity temperature are valuable in controlling body temperature, leading to a more optimum body temperature in an array of environmental conditions. Devices, such as a wearable article, and an apparatus to monitor the temperature of extremities, adjust the temperature of the extremities in response to the monitored temperature.

The invention relates to a functional footwear unit, in particular in the form of knit-of-parts, which has preferably a particularly modular protective function against chemical and/or biological toxic and/or harmful substances, especially warfare agents. The invention also relates to the uses thereof.

An athletic shoe includes a first cleat, a second cleat, and a third cleat. The first cleat is configured to extend and retract relative to a front portion of the athletic shoe. The second cleat is configured to rotate relative to a bottom portion of the athletic shoe. The third cleat is configured to extend from and retract into the at least one second cleat.

A shoe insole includes photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors to monitor SpO.sub.2 levels to aid in detection of one or more disorders such as hypoxemia, deteriorating organ function, wound prone tissues or the like. The insole further includes electrodes that may be utilized to stimulate a foot at or adjacent a wound. An insole according to the present disclosure may be utilized to monitor diabetic wounds, and aid in the healing of diabetic wounds of a foot.

A system assesses activity and displays a unitless activity value. A detector senses activity of a user. A processor reads sensed activity data from the detector. A display displays the unitless activity value. An enclosure houses the detector and the processor. The processor periodically reads the sensed activity data from the detector and processes the data to generate an activity number, the number being used to generate the unitless activity value based upon a maximum number and a display range.

Provided is a shoe cleaner which can be used by a user without exposing the user to high concentrations of ozone, and moreover is compact, is easy to use, and has low power consumption. The shoe cleaner is equipped with a case body and a sheet-like ozone generating body. The ozone generating body is formed from a flexible substrate and a flexible polymer resin electrode sheet. The electrode sheet is formed from a dielectric and electrodes covered by the dielectric. The case body houses a boost circuit for boosting the voltage of a battery and supplying the voltage to the electrode sheet.
