Gait is closely associated with many chronic diseases. With the development of the Internet of Health Things (IoHT), long-term gait monitoring and corresponding analysis can be performed remotely, reducing a patient’s time and traffic cost, while providing doctors more valuable gait information. The presented work provides a feasible means for real-time, long-term, and accurate gait monitoring in an IoHT scenario. Through the experimental results, the high detection sensitivity of 54 mN and responsivity of 163 mV/N are achieved, thereby satisfying the need for analyzing various diseases. Furthermore, 16 hours continuous working time indicates its successful utilization during long-term gait monitoring.

Concurrent high force detection accuracy and extended battery lifetime are expected for wearable gait monitoring systems. In this article, a piezoelectric insole device and rectifying circuitry-based technique is presented to achieve these two goals. Here, walking induced positive and negative charges are separated for plantar stress detection and energy harvesting respectively, realizing the two functions concurrently. The high detection sensitivity of 55 mN and responsivity of 231 mV/N are achieved, satisfying the need for diagnosing various diseases. 1.6 pJ is stored during a walking event, extending the battery lifetime. The developed technique enhances the development of gait monitoring in IoHT.

We have engaged in researching and developing a large number of sensor devices using piezo-resistive cantilevers. The important technical features of our sensor devices lie in their very high detection sensitivity that has been achieved by the use of cantilevers of a very thin structure: as a typical example, force-detection sensitivity of about 10 pN has been achieved by using cantilevers of 300-nm thickness. This paper presents our developed sensor devices and applications and their respective features: more specifically, devices to directly measure object-contacting forces, devices embedded in an elastic body to measure its deformations, devices to measure air flows and vibrations, devices to measure differential air pressure, devices to measure differential pressure between cavities and external environment, and devices with cantilevers arranged on the liquid interface.
