The Empo solution is designed to reduce the human and economic burden of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs)
“DFUs lead to amputations, quality of life issues, mortality, and increased costs. Our family medicine clinicians and podiatrists do everything they can to prevent severe ulcers, but they can’t be everywhere at once, and they currently have few options for determining what’s going on with a patient’s feet outside a healthcare setting.”
