About PodiaScan
Driven by Personal Experience, Built for Prevention
PodiaScan was born out of a deeply personal mission to fight the devastating impact of diabetic foot complications. After watching my own brother and a close friend each lose a leg solely due to severe, undetected foot complications, I knew there had to be a better way to protect families from going through the same trauma.
In many people with diabetes, nerve damage (neuropathy) results in a loss of sensation. This means minor friction, tissue stress, or inflammation goes unnoticed until the skin breaks down into an open wound. I developed and built the PodiaScan Progressive Web App (PWA) to turn clinical research into a simple, daily habit that can spot these invisible issues early enough to change the course of treatment.
How PodiaScan Protects Lower Limbs
Inflammation naturally causes an increase in localized skin temperature days before a visible wound or blister ever forms on the skin. By monitoring these temperature fluctuations, users can catch subclinical problems early.
Daily Foot Thermometry
The app guides you through a quick, 60-second check of six critical points on each foot using a handheld infrared thermometer.
Contralateral Comparison
The system instantly matches each zone against the corresponding spot on the opposite foot to look for abnormal temperature imbalances.
Early Warning Alerts
A temperature difference of 2.2 °C or more automatically flags a hidden hot spot, alerting you to look closer.
Connected Clinical Triage
The PWA securely syncs with your GP, podiatrist, or care clinic so they can track 90-day trends and proactively manage complications.
Our Goal: Zero Preventable Amputations
Up to 80% of diabetic foot issues can be successfully prevented with consistent daily monitoring and early intervention. PodiaScan bridges the gap between home self-care and professional clinical support. Our technology empowers individuals with diabetes to proactively manage their health, keeping their care teams fully informed before minor inflammation becomes a major health crisis.
