This study uses two special cameras to look at blood flow and heat patterns in your feet. The goal is to better predict who might be at risk for developing a diabetic foot ulcer, so steps can be taken to prevent it.
This study collects thermal (heat) images of the feet of people with diabetes who have had a healed foot ulcer. The goal is to see if these images can help prevent future foot problems.
This study tests a special camera system that takes pictures of your foot ulcer during your regular clinic visits. The goal is to see if it can help track healing and catch problems earlier, without extra trips to the clinic.
This study is looking for people with diabetes who have an open foot or ankle ulcer. Researchers want to collect samples to find biomarkers, which are natural signs in the body that could help improve treatment and healing. It may be a good fit if you have a diabetic foot ulcer and are not currently in another drug trial for ulcers.
