Problem
Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a major complication of diabetes, leading to significant healthcare costs, reduced quality of life, and a high risk of lower extremity amputations. Early detection of inflammation is critical to preventing DFUs, but traditional methods often rely on infrequent clinical visits and patient self-exams, missing early warning signs.
Solution
Podimetrics offers a remote patient monitoring solution centered around the SmartMat™, a connected device that enables daily foot temperature monitoring in patients with diabetes. Patients simply step on the SmartMat™ for 20 seconds each day, and the system automatically tracks temperature changes indicative of inflammation. Proprietary algorithms analyze the data to identify early signs of potential foot ulcers, enabling timely intervention and proactive care. The Podimetrics solution also includes personalized support and care coordination to ensure patients receive the right care at the right time, improving outcomes and reducing healthcare costs associated with diabetic foot complications.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes payers, providers, and employers seeking to reduce the incidence and costs associated with diabetic foot ulcers and lower extremity amputations in high-risk diabetic populations.
