Disruptive Tech in the Clinic: AI-Powered Thermography for Early DFU Detection #ActAgainstAmputation

A new diagnostic accuracy study demonstrates how the combination of smartphone-based thermography and artificial intelligence (AI) could revolutionize routine screening for diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). This technology offers a scalable, objective alternative to traditional manual exams, which are often episodic and highly dependent on examiner expertise. The Tech: TFScan The study evaluated TFScan, a system... Continue Reading →

Interpretable Machine Learning to Predict DFU Recurrence #ActAgainstAmputation @alpslimb @KeckSchool_USC @USC_Vascular #AI

I Reflections on new work from the International Flow and Toe Research Team (iFORT) One of the most persistent challenges in limb preservation is not the first ulcer โ€” it is the next one. Recurrence remains a defining feature of the disease, with up to 60% of people developing a new ulcer within three years... Continue Reading →
