슈-트리 풋 헬스케어 디바이스 개발 연구 = Shoe-tree Foot Healthcare device development research

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Footwear, a crucial element of contemporary life, often traps sweat and harbours bacteria due to limited ventilation during prolonged use. This study introduces the Shoe-Tree Foot Healthcare Device, meticulously designed to establish a hygienic environment within shoes contaminated by foot-related elements, ultimately promoting overall well-being. The development of this device involved a comprehensive global·national survey focusing on average foot sizes among men. It was engineered to counter structural shoe distortions while efficiently eliminating bacteria and moisture. Comprising front and rear sections, the front segment integrates a UV LED for sterilization and drying, along with a motor equipped with a fan. Simultaneously, the rear section features a humidity display and a control module. Empirical testing demonstrated a remarkable 31% reduction in humidity within 1 hour and 30 minutes, surpassing the 42% achieved by traditional shoe-trees. This research has yielded a versatile device, merging traditional shoe-care practices with cutting-edge technology for comprehensive foot-care.
