A simple solution to improve balance and reduce the risk of ulcers.

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a severe complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). They often result from lesions in the plantar tissue, on the bottom of the feet, that can go unnoticed following the damage to the peripheral nervous system and subsequent loss of foot sensation, termed as diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).

Path Feel Smart insoles for Healthcare Professionals.

Containing a pair of smart insoles, an app and a web-based dashboard, the Path Feel system will revolutionize DFU prevalence through personalized medicine, integrated care and diagnostics.

How?

Path Feel’s insoles detect elevated pressure and temperature on the bottom of the feet and provide alerts in response. This facilitates behavioural change, ultimately preventing DFUs whilst improving mobility. The real-time pressure and temperature data and activity levels are analyzed through the smartphone application.
