NCT ID NCT07666087
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study will test how easy it is for 20 adults with diabetes to set up and use the Feetsee foot monitoring device at home over 8 weeks. Participants will use the device and app on their own, following the instructions provided. The goal is to see if people can use it correctly without extra help, which could lead to better foot care and fewer complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Feetsee foot monitoring device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that the Feetsee device is easy for people with diabetes to use at home, potentially helping them monitor foot health and prevent complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-stage usability study with only 20 participants. It does not test whether the device improves health outcomes, so it may not lead to any direct medical benefit.
