Benefits of Insoles With Real-Time Alert and Foot Self-Care Education
Sponsor: Texas Woman's University
Summary
Novel approaches to promote adherence to diabetic footwear and prevent high incidence of diabetes foot ulcers are urgently needed. Investigators propose to translate an innovative and practical technology to supplement clinical and risk evaluation for patients with diabetes through wearable insoles and smart watch, along with foot self-care education, to improve adherence to prescribed footwear and reduce incidence of foot ulcers in those with diabetes and at risk for foot ulcers.
