Preventing amputations in diabetes

One of the main risks of diabetes is amputations. Reducing this risk is therefore a constant requirement that needs to be addressed urgently.

The Motus Smart Device is a sensor-infused diabetic footwear that can reduce the risk of amputations. For this device, Avnet provided the IoTConnect based monitoring solution, a web application that features Power BI Dashboards, monitors data and provides the analytics.

The Motus Smart Device can easily record the patient’s usage patterns and compliance. Data that offer patients a holistic view can be collected, enabling them to monitor their activities. Diabetic foot ulcers or post-surgery offloading can also be achieved mechanically, ensuring higher adherence. As a result, diabetic foot ulcers can be better managed and amputations prevented.
