Healthy Feet with Remote Monitoring for Diabetic Foot Care
Diabetic Foot Ulcer Statistics
- 1 in 4 people suffering from diabetes develops a foot ulcer
- 40% of those ulcers will recur within the first year after they heal
- Once a person develops an ulcer, the 5 year mortality rate is almost 50%
In a recently published randomized controlled trial, when compared to current standards of care, our technology, the Orpyx SI showed a reduction in diabetic foot ulcer recurrence in 86% of people with a history of previous diabetic foot ulcers. Neuropathy occurs in 70% of people with diabetes and can cause a lack of sensation leading to injuries going undetected and a higher prevalence of diabetic foot ulcers. In addition, neuropathy damages blood vessels resulting in compromised blood flow and healing that can eventually lead to the need for amputation of the foot or leg. It is the number one cause of lower-extremity amputations when not treated properly.
