Abstract
The paper describes that development of a prototype system for teaching foot cleaning self-care in diabetic patients for prevention of tinea pedis. The system consists of two cameras and black light lamps. In the system, the patients can easily confirm the areas where they cannot sweep away by watching the remained fluorescent image on the tablets, once they put their feet into the system during sitting. We also developed image analysis method for measurement of remained fluorescent area.
