Prototype for Measurement and Registration of Physiological Parameters Related to Diabetic Foot
摘要
To design a system for measuring and recording physiological parameters related to the diabetic foot stage, applied research with a mixed approach was carried out from July to October 2023. An experimental methodology was chosen for the design. During the development of the proposal, diagnostic procedures and systems for measuring diabetic foot-related parameters in a public referral center were examined. The system’s design involved the fabrication of electronic boards and the development of software to measure and record blood pressure, temperature, and cardiac pulse in the foot. In addition, the financial feasibility of its implementation was evaluated. This system has been shown to optimize parameter measurement times, a fundamental aspect for improving efficiency in preventive and follow-up care for diabetic patients. As a recommendation for future research, we suggest the integration in the prototype of the capacity to export data to Excel spreadsheets for statistical analysis, as well as the performance of specific tests with diabetic patients.
