26 Diabetic foot ulcer Up to 25% of people with diabetes will develop a foot ulcer at some point during their lifetime 3 Half will become infected and require hospitalization 4 One in five will go on to amputation 4 People with a history of a diabetic foot ulcer have a 40% greater ten-year mortality rate than diabetic patients without a foot ulcer 5 3.

27 Amputation Of the people who undergo a major amputation, 20-50% will have the contralateral limb amputated in 1-3 years Greater than 50% will require an amputation in 5 years Van Gils, CARL C., et al.

28 Amputation Mortality rates following an amputation 3 13% to 40% at 1 year 35% to 65% at 3 years 39% to 80% at 5 years This is worse than for most malignancies 7,8 3.

32 Recurrence Between 30-40% of patients develop at least one new foot ulcer in the first year after healing By year 3, about 60% of patients have reulcerated Re-ulceration decreases the farther you are from closure date Goal is to shift as many patients as possible to the right, past one year

33 Remission: Now What?

34 Infrared Dermal Thermometry for the High-risk Diabetic Foot (1997) 143 consecutive patients Neuropathy without acute pathology (78) Charcot arthropathy (21) Active DFU (44) Skin temperatures from 6 corresponding sites on the plantar aspect of both feet Differences in skin temperature between corresponding sites on contralateral limbs were noted in the Charcot and active DFU groups; no difference was noted in the asymptomatic sensory neuropathy group Temperature asymmetry may be useful for identifying patients at risk for developing DFU Armstrong DG, Lavery LA, Liswood PJ, Todd WF, Tredwell JA. Infrared dermal thermometry for the high-risk diabetic foot. Phys Ther Feb;77(2):

37 Skin Temperature Monitoring Reduces the Risk for Diabetic Foot Ulceration in High-risk Patients (2007) 225 high-risk patients followed for 18 months (RCT) Standard therapy Dermal thermometry Both groups received therapeutic footwear, diabetic foot education, regular foot care, and performed daily foot inspection Dermal Thermometry Group subjects used an infrared skin thermometer to measure temperatures on six corresponding sites, on each foot, twice daily Temperature differences > 4 F between corresponding sites on the contralateral foot triggered patients to contact the study nurse, reduce activity until temperatures normalized Armstrong DG, Holtz-Neiderer K, Wendel C, Mohler MJ, Kimbriel HR, Lavery LA. Skin temperature monitoring reduces the risk for diabetic foot ulceration in high-risk patients. Am J Med Dec;120(12):

38 Skin Temperature Monitoring Reduces the Risk for Diabetic Foot Ulceration in High-risk Patients (2007) 8.4% (19) ulcerated over the 18-month follow-up period Standard Therapy Group: 12.2% (14) Dermal Thermometry Group: 4.7% (5) Subjects were one third as likely to ulcerate in the dermal thermometry group compared with standard therapy group Armstrong DG, Holtz-Neiderer K, Wendel C, Mohler MJ, Kimbriel HR, Lavery LA.

39 Challenges of Home Monitoring

40 Podimetrics Remote Temperature Monitoring System

41 Podimetrics Remote Temperature Monitoring System Automated, easy-to-use, telemedicine monitoring solution designed to address the shortcomings of existing thermometric devices Intended to be used to help identify patients with persistent foot inflammation who may benefit from early, non-invasive offloading therapies The system consists of a floor mat, an analytics cloud, and a clinical decision support web application

42 Podimetrics Remote Temperature Monitoring System

43 Podimetrics Remote Temperature Monitoring System Podimetrics Mat is a daily-use, wireless, in-home, FDA-cleared medical device with an array of thermometric sensors under a water-resistant cover It is designed to be used directly out-of-the-box without configuration or setup by the patient The device remains in standby until the patient is ready to use it, which is accomplished by stepping on the Mat and remaining stationary for approximately 20 seconds During this time, the Mat records a high-resolution thermometric scan, or thermogram, of the patient's feet

44 In-Home Assessment of a Smart Foot Mat for the Prevention of Diabetic Foot Ulcers (Frykberg, et al.) 129 high risk patient across 7 sites Inclusion criteria History of plantar DFU, and no current or active plantar foot pathology (i.e. Charcot) Enrollees were provided a Podimetrics Mat and instructed to use it daily for 34 consecutive weeks 53 plantar DFU occurred in 37 patients over the course of 34 weeks Distribution of temperature asymmetry was found to strongly differentiate the scans of those who developed DFU from those who did not

45 In-Home Assessment of a Smart Foot Mat for the Prevention of Diabetic Foot Ulcers (Frykberg, et al.) Subject A did not reulcerate Subject B formed ulcer 4 weeks later

46 In-Home Assessment of a Smart Foot Mat for the Prevention of Diabetic Foot Ulcers (Frykberg, et al.) 3 months after healing One month prior to reulceration Following 5 weeks treatment

47 Evaluation of a Remote Temperature Monitoring System for the Prevention of Diabetic Foot Ulcers IRB Number: MA Principal Investigator: Adam L. Isaac, DPM Sub-investigator: Amey Kulkarni, MD Co-investigator: Jonathan Bloom, MD Co-investigator/Project Manager: Natalie Reid, MPH, MBA Primary outcome of interest: To evaluate the use of Podimetrics Remote Temperature Monitoring System to reduce the occurrence and recurrence of diabetic foot ulcers and reduce total health care utilization for diabetic patients with a foot ulcer that have healed in the past two years

48 Evaluation of a Remote Temperature Monitoring System for the Prevention of Diabetic Foot Ulcers Secondary outcome of interest: To observe ulcer-free survival over one year Other outcomes of interest: Total ulcer days (number of days a participant has an open ulcer or wound under treatment) Ulcer Grade based on the University of Texas Wound Classification System Total health care utilization, including hospitalizations, emergency department visits, in-person or office visits Number of amputations Number of telephone encounters Number of secure messages

49 Evaluation of a Remote Temperature Monitoring System for the Prevention of Diabetic Foot Ulcers Inclusion criteria Male or female 18 years of age with a diagnosis of diabetes (Type I or II) History of healed plantar Diabetic Foot Ulcer(s) or healed amputation(s) within the last 24 months Ability to provide informed consent Adequate lower extremity blood supply

50 Evaluation of a Remote Temperature Monitoring System for the Prevention of Diabetic Foot Ulcers Exclusion criteria Patients with ulcers or open lesions Active Charcot Active foot infection or gangrene Any mental health disorder, psychiatric disorder, or alcohol or drug abuse history such that, in the opinion of the investigator, the patient is unreliable as a study participant

51 Evaluation of a Remote Temperature Monitoring System for the Prevention of Diabetic Foot Ulcers Exclusion criteria (Cont.) History of amputation more proximal than a transmetatarsal amputation in either foot. Inability to ambulate without the assistance of a wheelchair, walker, or crutches Any travel plans expected to result in an interruption of Podimetrics Mat use for greater than two consecutive weeks [Note: OK for participant to take device with them and use during travel] Unable to return to Physician Investigator for study visits and study related foot care for the duration of the study to return to Physician Investigator for study visits and study related foot care for the duration of the study
