Blog Title: Implementation of a Patient-Centered Remote Wound Monitoring System for Management of Diabetic Foot Ulcers This from our colleagues at Johns Hopkins Summary: Regular clinical assessment is crucial for optimizing the healing of lower extremity wounds, particularly in diabetic foot ulcers. However, various barriers often hinder patient follow-up, including family and work obligations, socioeconomic... Continue Reading →

Adherence to at-Home Monitoring of Foot Temperatures in People with Diabetes at High Risk of Ulceration #Thermometry #Remission #DiabeticFoot #ActAgainstAmputation
Data reported by Rovers and coworkers on 151 people in diabetic foot remission from our colleagues under the aegis of Sicco Bus and Jaap Van Netten. Bottom line: like with glucose monitoring (particularly in its early days) adherence to thermometry is spotty (56.6% adhering to daily checks at 18 months). We aimed to investigate adherence...

Meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials testing the effect of at-home foot temperature monitoring and reduction of ambulatory activity in response to hotspots on the incidence of diabetes-related foot ulcers
Enjoy this deep dive into the current status of data supporting or refuting use of thermometry Aim: To perform an updated systematic review of randomised controlled trials examining the efficacy of at-home foot temperature monitoring in reducing the risk of a diabetes-related foot ulcer (DFU). Methods: Systematic review performed according to PRISMA guidelines. Risk-of-bias was assessed using... Continue Reading →
