An early warning system for diabetic automobile drivers with peripheral neuropathy.

This research has successfully designed and fabricated a haptic feedback device that can be used as an early warning system for diabetic automobile drivers with peripheral neuropathy.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONA haptic foot prototype device capable of generating warning signals to diabetic drivers whose foot could slip off the brake or accelerator pedals has been developed.The prototype includes force sensing receivers integrated with eccentric rotating mass system, a haptic controller breakout board, and Arduino software.The system is very easy to use and provides highly reliable audio and visual feedback which are good alerting mechanisms for older automobile drivers.
