Summary
This trial tests a wearable insole system that monitors foot pressure, temperature, and movement, giving real-time alerts to help users shift weight and avoid injury. The study includes people with type 1 or 2 diabetes who have nerve damage and a recent history of healed foot ulcers. Researchers want to see if using these smart insoles alongside standard care reduces the chance of ulcers coming back.

Active substance
Orpyx Sensory Insole System
What this could lead to
If effective, these insoles could help prevent painful foot ulcers in people with diabetes, reducing hospital visits and amputations.
What could go wrong
This is a small early study with only 17 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The insoles may not prevent all ulcers or could be inconvenient to wear.
