Considering a system capable of identifying abnormalities in people's walking conditions in real-time, simply by studying his/her walking profile over a short period of time is a phenomenal breakthrough in the field of biotechnology. Such abnormalities could be as a result of injury, old age, or disease termed gait which could be analyzed using the pressure mapping technology. Pressure points in the feet of an injured person as he/she walks is analyzed by sets of sensors (capacitive sensors) carefully design with a rectangular 5.1cm by 2cm parallel aluminium plate and placed on developed footwear with a uniform distance of 1cm across the dielectric material. The output of the pre-processing stage gives varying values which are calibrated and sent to the microcontroller. All placed on a portable sized Printed Circuit Board (PCB) making it moveable from one place to another (that is, mobile), is the pre-processing circuit that converts measured or evaluated result to the transmittable signal through a Mobile Communication System which can be received on a Personal Computer (PC) in form of a periodic chat and/ or report. The result of the analysis is shown both in simulation and hardware implementation of the system
