Abstract
Approaches presented herein enable performing a health analysis of a user using a smart floor mat. Specifically, a sensory array of the smart floor mat collects static and dynamic pressure data for capturing the movement and force exerted by a user's feet as the user walks across the smart floor mat. A healthcare analysis is then performed by comparing this current measurement data against the user's historical measurement data and expected results to generate a healthcare insight such as a trend, pattern, or deviation. The healthcare insight can predict or indicate a health issue. If a deviation exceeding a predefined permissible threshold exists, a healthcare professional can be notified.
