Summary
This study will give 100 adults with diabetes a thermal camera that attaches to their smartphone to take daily pictures of their feet. The goal is to collect temperature data and see if hot spots can predict where foot ulcers might form. Participants will use the device at home for 6 to 9 months while continuing their usual care.
