1. A system for measuring foot health, comprising:
a plurality of sensors embedded within a flexible sheet;
an insole envelope surrounding the flexible sheet;
a circuit printed on the flexible sheet;
the circuit connected to an in-built wireless controller, wherein the in-built wireless controller telecommunicatively connects to an external device;
a plurality of controller boards connected to the circuit; and
wherein the plurality of sensors comprises a first set of sensors and a second set of sensors, wherein the first set of sensors and the second set of sensors are distributed within at least a first circuit region, a second circuit region, and a third circuit region;
wherein at least one sensor of the first set of sensors is a weight sensor configured to measure force perpendicular to the flexible sheet;
wherein at least one sensor of the second set of sensors is a pressure sensor configured to measure a shear force parallel to the flexible sheet;
wherein the insole envelope comports to a shape of a foot, wherein a bottom of the foot is configured to interact with the plurality of sensors;
wherein the system comprises the external device, which is configured to collect the first set of data and the second set of data in real time during walking, running, and standing stances, and create a weight/pressure map based on the first set of data and the second set of data;
wherein, based on the weight/pressure map, the external device is configured to detect an injury occurring in real time and to generate an alert when the injury occurs.
