First seen Jan 20, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study tests three types of diabetic boots to see which helps people wear them more consistently. Diabetic foot ulcers can lead to amputation if not treated properly, and wearing a special boot is key to healing. One boot uses a smartwatch and phone to remind and track wear time. The study will compare healing rates, activity levels, sleep, and quality of life in 210 adults with diabetic foot ulcers.
