Remote digital imaging makes daily, at-home diabetic foot checks easier to do – and share
Visually inspecting the feet daily is the best way to identify a diabetic foot condition before it becomes a serious health problem.
Foot problems like calluses, fungal infections, and wounds can happen to anyone, but they’re especially risky for people with diabetes. A thorough daily visual check is the best way to identify these and other more serious complications, like Charcot foot and ulcers, before invasive intervention is needed.
But many patients find it difficult to follow through with these daily foot checks on a regular basis.
