NCT ID NCT05579743
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone app can help people with diabetic foot ulcers monitor their wounds from home. Participants use the app to take weekly photos of their wound, which are reviewed remotely by medical professionals. The goal is to see if this approach is as effective as standard in-person clinic visits for tracking healing and catching problems early.

Active substance
Remote wound monitoring smartphone app
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could make wound care more convenient and accessible for people with diabetic foot ulcers, potentially improving healing by catching problems early.
What could go wrong
This is a small feasibility study, so results may not apply to all patients. The app requires a smartphone and willingness to self-scan, which may limit use.
