This trial tests a new 'smart' bandage that sends information to your care team from your home, compared with a regular bandage and standard follow-up visits. The hope is that this smart bandage can help heal your vein-related leg ulcer faster by catching problems early.
This study tests a skin-measurement method (bioimpedance) to monitor how venous leg ulcers heal while using standard compression therapy. It may help the study team track healing sooner and more accurately so treatment can be adjusted if needed.
This study tests if using a smartphone app or tablet helps doctors and patients work together to prevent or manage blood clots in the legs or lungs. It is for adults in the hospital who have or are at high risk of a blood clot.
This trial tests a mobile app to help prevent foot ulcers in people with diabetes who are at high risk. You will use the app to track your foot health and get advice to keep your feet safe.
This trial tests a way to monitor chronic wounds from home using a smartphone app called Pixacare. If you have a long-lasting wound, this could let you send photos to your care team instead of always going to the clinic.
