The technology

  • Our technology measures different parameters related to the pressure points across your feet when walking.

  • This allows the detection of hotspots (ulcer risk) and provides monitoring mechanisms to allow people to quickly remedy this risk.

The need

  • Diabetic ulcers occur in up to 26 million people a year.

  • Diabetic foot ulcers occur in up to 25% of people with diabetes. 6% of these people will be hospitalised due to infection or other ulcer-related complication.

  • Diabetes is the leading cause of non-traumatic lower extremity amputations in the U.S. Up to 24% percent of patients with diabetes who develop a foot ulcer will require an amputation.

  • In Australia alone, there are approximately 4,400 amputations every year as a result of diabetes.

The benefits

  • Our technology allows people with diabetes to identify when they have the risk of developing a diabetic ulcer through tracking locations of increasing stress and pressure.

  • Long-time monitoring can occur for both pressure (ulcer risk), and gait pattern (diabetic polyneuropathy).

  • With early interventions, people can prevent this transforming into a diabetic ulcer.
