What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

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.

What this could mean

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

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.
