Smart Mat Detects Early Warning Signs of Foot Ulcers
From: R&D Magazine - 08/17/2017

Jon Bloom's startup, Podimetrics, has developed a smart mat that can detect
early warning signs before foot ulcers form, which may drastically reduce
amputations and cut medical costs.

The smart mat is equipped with sensors that detect minute spikes in
temperature around the foot, which precede the formation of ulcers. A patient
stands on the mat for about 20 seconds per day, and the measurements are sent
to the cloud. If an ulcer is suspected, the startup shoots an alert to the
patient's physician, who can help the patient start a treatment plan.
