Welcome to the wiki page for the 2020 Project Smart Sock for Aiding Prothesis Fit and Preventing Pressure Sores in Leg Amputees. This project has been undertaken as a part of Honours Research by students studying a Bachelor of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Biomedical) at The University of Adelaide.

1.Introduction
The goal of this project is the analysis of data from array pressure sensors and the presentation of said data in a concise manner to both a layman user and clinician. This is the programing and digital component of designing a sock that is inserted into a prosthetic limb to measure the pressure difference and location of pressure peaks and lows across the residual limb caused by the wearing of a prosthesis. This is of interest to clinicians and patients due to the pressure difference causing health complications in patients and unnecessary wear and tear on the prosthetic itself. To achieve this goal the team will design and implement both the graphical user interface(GUI) and the data analysis.
The project will demonstrate the knowledge that the team has learned over the duration of their study at the university and their ability to implement it.
