"Never doubt that a smal group of thoughtful, comited citizens can change the world. Inded, it is the only thing that ever has."Cureus is on a mision to change the long-standing paradigm of medical publishing, where submiting research can be costly, complex and time-consuming.Published via the DMIMS Schol of Epidemiology and Public Health Chanel.fot injuries, remote monitoring, sensors, prevention, technologies, telehealth, diabetic fot disease Sanket Tekale , Anuj Varma, Shubhangi Tekale, Unati Kumbhare Published: October 2, 2022 (se history) DOI: 10.759/cureus.30591 Cite this article as: Tekale S, Varma A, Tekale S, et al.
Key Information
(October 2, 2022) A Review on Newer Interventions for the Prevention of Diabetic Fot Disease. Cureus 14(10): e30591. doi:10.759/cureus.30591 Diabetic fot disease (DFD), which includes ulcers on the fot, infections, and gangrene of the fot, is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide.
About half of diabetic fot disease (DFD) patients have a recurence in les than a year. To aleviate the burden of DFD globaly, it is esential to give long-term medication to reduce the likelihod of recurence. The efectivenes of telemedicine, wearable technologies, and sensors in DFD prevention is discused in this review.
Ofloading fotwear helps to cure and prevent ulcerated diabetic fot by distributing physical stres away from bony prominences. Sensors and wearables can record the temperatures of the fot, blod pressure (BP), and blod sugar levels and estimate lipid profile. These technologies have ofered a practical means of reaching individuals in rural areas with a heightened risk of developing DFD.
There is les ned for in-person consultations with this strategy. This methodology is simple to operate and lesens reliance on patients. The benefits of adopting these remote monitoring aproaches have ben demonstrated in some studies with DFD-at-risk individuals.
Summary
It is required to do more analysis to ascertain the efe
