An application for the Android operating system that performs data acquisition of a baropodometer via Bluetooth to support the analysis of scoliosis by health care professionals was implemented. The application was developed with Java object oriented programming language in the Eclipse development environment. This application allows storing and displaying informations of volunteers, such as personal data and mensurements of force in the plantar region of patients. For the transmission of the barapodometer data, an instrumentation built with an Arduino platform, a PSoC device, a Bluetooth module, an instrumentation amplifier, a multiplexer, voltage regulators and pots was used. Using the implemented system, we can clearly see differences in the distribution of weightbearing in the plantar region of healthy volunteers and volunteers with scoliosis. The results showed that patients with scoliosis unload more unequally weights on the right and left feet that healthy patients. The biggest difference in the percentage of weightbearing in patients with scoliosis and healthy occurred in the midfoot. In patients with scoliosis, in this plantar region, the percentage of weightbearing is less than half of that in healthy patients
