In the literatures, some podoscope systems have been introduced to analyze the plantar footprint. However, there is an absence of a low complexity portable system with control capacity and trace ability of users and their results through a web application. Therefore, the objective of this study is to develop of a portable system that allows the automation of the process; reducing the errors of human character and the times of accomplishment. The development methodology of the research is a cascade type that begins as an initial phase in analyzing of the requirements and restrictions of the system. Then the physical and circuit design of the platform are carried out. Once the first two stages of the methodology are complete, the algorithms of the portable system based on Android Studio, and the web application are developed under the Laravel framework. Finally, the performance of the proposed system and the analysis of the results will be presented. In this study, the footprint of 35 users and a total of 70 samples will be analyzed. The results show 74% accuracy compared to the manual method.
