On diabetic foot, wound healing, amputation prevention, and the merger of consumer tech with medical devices
A new formative study of an in-home full-color imaging scale offers a glimpse of the Foot Selfie’s next chapter—from early home plantar photography and smartphones to AI, co-creation, and ambient monitoring.
New in Diabetes Care: dropout from diabetic foot ulcer offloading trials is not random. Slower walking and depressive symptoms predict who leaves (AUC 0.81) — and a lower-burden smart boot kept people engaged. Attrition is signal, not noise.
A new paper in BMC Health Services Research describes how we co-created a Foot Selfie app with, not for, people living with diabetes, caregivers, and clinicians in urban Lima and semi-rural Piura, Peru. Here is how the end-users redesigned remote diabetic foot surveillance to fit the rooms where it actually happens.
The Withings Body Pro 2 presents significant potential for improving the management of diabetes complications, particularly in the early detection and monitoring of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. This cellular scale is notably the first to offer a modular approach tailored to chronic conditions, with an initial focus on diabetes. Here's an overview of its features and... Continue Reading →
Our long-time friends and colleagues from Manchester, led by B. Cassidy et al., have recently contributed an important addition to the existing literature through their study on the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in early detection of Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFUs). Published in Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, the study outlines a real-world proof-of-concept clinical... Continue Reading →
This from our combined Canadian / US team focusing on "if this, then this" for remote patient monitoring Preventing Diabetic Foot Ulcers through Innovative Technology Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a significant healthcare challenge, leading to severe consequences like amputation, reduced mobility, and increased mortality rates. However, most DFUs are preventable and treatable if detected... Continue Reading →
Here is work from our interdisciplinary team led by Evan Minty and Breanne Everett. The goal is to help us move toward creating a closed loop of dosing activity, sensing inflammation, and treating pre-ulcerative conditions. Abstract Diabetes and its complications, particularly diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), pose significant challenges to healthcare systems worldwide. DFUs result in... Continue Reading →
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 →
