SoleSense: Opportunity for Innovation in Diabetic Foot Abnormalities

Project Description:

Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are slow-healing open wounds that usually form on the bottom of the feet or toes. These ulcers are highly susceptible to infection due to poor circulation, nerve damage, and pressure from walking. Without proper care, DFUs can worsen, leading to serious complications such as infections or amputation.

Project Photo:

This visual highlights a high-risk pressure point on the plantar surface of the foot, where diabetic foot ulcers commonly develop. The project focuses on identifying these areas early to prevent complications.
