Summary

This study tested whether people with diabetes would regularly use a special foot mat that detects temperature changes, which can signal an upcoming foot ulcer. Twenty adults who had a diabetic foot ulcer in the past used the FDA-cleared Podimetrics Smart Mat at home for six months. The main goal was to see how often they used it, not to treat or cure ulcers.
