Feasibility and Effectiveness of a Remote Monitoring Program for the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Sponsor: Johns Hopkins University
Summary
This research is being done to compare two different methods of wound monitoring for chronic wounds: remote wound monitoring using a smartphone app and in-person wound monitoring in a clinic setting. This will be a pilot non-blinded randomized controlled feasibility trial. The investigators will enroll 120 patients with an active diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) who present to the multidisciplinary diabetic foot clinic in Baltimore, Maryland. Patients will be computer randomized 1:1 to receive wound care monitoring using remote DFU monitoring technology or standard in-person monitoring for 12 weeks.

Interventions
Remote wound monitoring technology
Healthy.io developed a professional-user wound management system that captures wound measurements and analyzes tissue distribution in real time through a smartphone application. Clinical oversight of the healing status of the wound via remote imaging and expert review allows for real time intervention when stagnation or worsening of a wound is detected. Patients with wounds on their legs will receive access to Healthy.io's mobile app and will be able to perform self-scans of their wound which will be automatically sent to the medical professionals, thus allowing them to assess the wound remotely.
