1. Shoe Additional Monitor for those in need i named it this name since its is easily recognizable and able to know the usage of the product without knowing.
2. this product hasnt been invented yet, but there is something simmilar on the market, but is only a paper that can be included in pants for those who are diabled and play sports, but with this produxct, it is easily able to be frogotten and is not known when the person is injured. Another problem with this product is that, since it is using liquid dye to show the injury, the dye is able to spread on a larger area than the wound is, causeing misconception of the injury and exaderate it, leading to panic and misdioagnosis.
3. The purpose of this whole project began with me finding an issue that stuck with me. What first motivated me to start this project was my teacher, who had been telling me about a running issue in her family that affected their knowledge of when they had an injury in their foot. Worst case scenario, they might have had to amputate one of their feet due to how mangled and infected the wound could get if not found instantly. This is when I realized that I could do something about this issue, that my project might be able to make a difference, that people would no longer have to worry about these ‘running issues’ any longer. I decided I was going to make something that, despite some people’s lack of feeling in their feet, could be made aware of their injuries before it gets so bad that they need to resort to amputation.
4. I have developed this Shoe Additional Monitor for those that have paralysis in the foot, for example; people with spinal injuries, diabetes, and those with CIP. Although they cannot feel pain, it still helps them detect their injuries, and warns them to check if they are injured, decreasing their risk of amputation or infection. It’s difficult to estimate the exact number of people in the world who have issues with knowing whether they are injured or not, as it can depend on a variety of factors such as the underlying cause of the issue. However, one condition that can cause a person to have difficulty feeling pain or recognizing injuries is congenital insensitivity to pain (CIP). According to the National Institutes of Health, CIP is a rare condition that affects an estimated 1 in 25 thousand people worldwide. It’s important to note that not all people who have difficulty recognizing injuries have CIP, and there may be other conditions or factors that contribute to this issue. However, according to the WHO , it’s estimated that there are around 250,000 to 500,000 new cases of spinal cord injuries each year worldwide. While not all spinal cord injuries result in paralysis, many do, and the exact number of people who are paralyzed from the waist down can vary, depending on the specific population or region being studied. In the US alone, the Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center estimates that there are around 17,700 new cases of spinal cord injury each year, with approximately 47% of those resulting in paraplegia, which is paralysis of the lower half of the body, including the legs. However, its important to note that these numbers are specific to the United States and may not be representative of the entire world.
5. The function of this project includes a pressure sensor, a vibrating module and is equipped with bluetooth to connect to a phone. These components help with detecting and sending signals or feedback to parents or guardians with children, elderly, or friends who have the following conditions of CIP, paralysation, diabetes, and spinal injuries.
6. The materials used in this project consists of following:
   • esp 32 x2- 21.30
   • battery x2- 5.5
   • battery charger x2- 0.6
   • vibration moduel- 2
   • pressure sensor- 5.30
   • intotal= 67
7. The original version of this project was a shoe with built in sensors that could tell the user if they got hurt. This was then upgraded into a seperate function that could be attatched onto the shoe incase the user was unable to fit. This aspect then reduced the cost and upgraded the versality of the project. My teacher then helped me find the correct components and guided me towards the right direction for me to start the project smoothly.

7. the multiple issues that I faced during this project was components not being able to function probably or code not being able to function probably. the dreams I wish to reach with this project is, it being able to not only support the foot, but other body parts of the person for example arm or knee. With this project in place and running I hope that this can help more people and keep them safe and not ruin their fun while doing sports or actions.
8. what i learned during this experience varies. with the physical work that i have done, i have learned how to solder, glue, and learned how to use the lazer cutter. what i learned from the research included the constant problem of the people with CIP, Spinal injuries, and paralysis from the waist down along with the worry from friends, family, and guardians who look after them. I also learned how to code for Bluetooth and learned how to make an app that connects my components to function simultaniusly. But most importantly, i learned how to realize problems and find a solution to answer them and help those in need. From this project i learned to smypathize with those poeple and hope to expand this project to help more people.

After this process, this is the final result of my adventure. The bracelt is a lot smaller and more aestheticly pleasing and also better for different types of conditions. And the main product is now able to be taken off and added to another shoe easily.
