ABSTRACT
The proposed project, Smart Shoe with Humidity Sensor for Sweat Detection, focuses on developing an intelligent footwear system capable of monitoring humidity levels inside a shoe to detect sweat accumulation. Excessive sweating in the feet can cause discomfort, unpleasant odor, and various skin infections such as athlete’s foot. The smart shoe aims to overcome these issues by integrating a DHT11 humidity sensor with an Arduino microcontroller and a Bluetooth (HC-05) communication module. The system continuously monitors the humidity inside the shoe and transmits the data wirelessly to a smartphone for real-time analysis. When the detected humidity exceeds a predefined threshold, the system alerts the user through visual or sound signals such as an LED indicator or buzzer, promoting timely action to maintain hygiene and comfort.The device is powered by an MB102 power supply module, ensuring stable operation and portability. By incorporating low-cost, lightweight components, the design maintains user comfort and affordability. The smart shoe system not only enhances personal health monitoring but also contributes to the advancement of wearable technologies in healthcare and sports applications. The project demonstrates how the combination of IoT and sensor technology can be effectively applied to everyday accessories to improve quality of life. Future developments could include data logging, temperature sensing, and integration with cloud-based health platforms for continuous monitoring and advanced analysis.
Keywords: Smart Shoe, Humidity Monitoring, Wearable Sensors, Arduino, IoT Healthcare, Sweat Detection.
