Abstract

A method for manufacturing a sock and monitoring health, comprising the steps of manufacturing the sock, comprising determining regions for conductive yarn patches in a sock, wherein the regions comprise of a heel region and a ball region, determining conductive part regions for a plurality of conductive paths connecting the respective heel region and the respective ball region to a top part of the sock, wherein at least two of the plurality of conductive paths are connected to the ball region and at least two of the plurality of conductive paths are connected to the heal region, and stitching the sock comprising stitching utilizing conductive yarn for the conductive yarn patches and the conductive paths, and stitching utilizing cotton yarn for the remaining of the socks. Furthermore, the method may include receiving signals from an end of the conductive part region responsive to receiving electrical signals from the heel region and the ball region, utilizing the received signals for determining health of a user.

Claims (8)

1. A manufacturing method of a sock, comprising the steps of:

a. manufacturing a sock, comprising:

determining regions for conductive yarn patches in a sock, wherein the regions comprise of a heel region and a ball region;

determining conductive part regions for a plurality of conductive paths connecting the respective heel region and the respective ball region to a top part of the sock, wherein at least two of the plurality of conductive paths are connected to the ball region and at least two of the plurality of conductive paths are connected to the heal region; and

stitching the sock comprising stitching utilizing conductive yarn for the conductive yarn patches and the conductive paths utilizing a first stitch length for conductive yarn for the conductive yarn patches and the conductive paths, and stitching utilizing cotton yarn for the remaining of the socks utilizing a second stitch length for cotton yarn for the remaining of the socks, wherein the conductive yarn patches have a width between 4 to 5 cm and a length between 3.5 cm to 5 cm;

b. receiving signals from an end of the conductive part region responsive to receiving electrical signals from the heel region and the ball region;

c. utilizing the received signals for determining health of a user.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the conductive yarn patches consist of only the conductive yarn.
