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.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
FeetSee thermal camera device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a home monitoring tool that helps predict diabetic foot ulcers before they form.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device is not a replacement for standard care.

Inclusion Criteria: * Males/females aged over 18 years. * Type 1 or type 2 diabetes. * History of plantar diabetic foot ulcer(s). * Foot ulcer healed for at least 6 weeks before entry into study, as determined by a specialist healthcare provider. * Presence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy defined by either of the following: * Inability to detect the monofilament (10g) applied at two foot sites, including the apex of the Hallux (ADA guidelines 2008 Diabetes Care 31(1)). * A Vibration Perception Threshold (VPT) \>20V, and/or by inability to detect application of the monofilament at the apex of the Hallux. * Presence of at least one palpable foot pulse. Exclusion Criteria: * Active foot ulceration. * Active Charcot neuro-osteoarthropathy. * Severe vascular disease (complete absence of any foot pulses). * Lower limb/foot amputation greater than metatarsophalangeal disarticulation. * Active malignancy, immunosuppressive disease. * Physical or mental condition(s) that limit the ability to follow instructions for the study, based on clinical judgment by the physician, such as inability to use the device without assistance. * Current participation in another clinical investigation of a medical device that is contraindicated for either study procedure/outcome.
