In order to calculate the walking distance there is a need of a device. The distance is displayed in meter as well as kilometer in mobile phone using Bluetooth technology. The calorie burned while walking is based on the weight and amount of time he/she walks. We are also going to display the calorie burned every day in the mobile. Here we attached a force sensitive resistor (FSR) in sole of the shoe. When a person walks, he/she used to press his/her foot in the land. The FSR senses it and starts counting the steps which is also displayed in the mobile. It is not only great for health monitoring, but also used to guide blind people. The proposed system is that it utilizes an embedded vision system of three simple IR sensors and brings together all reflective signals in order to codify an obstacle through PIC microcontroller. It is a simple, cheap, friendly user; smart blind guidance system is designed and implemented to improve the mobility of both blind and visually impaired people in a specific area.
