SurroSense Rx Wireless Shoe Insert
The SurroSense Rx is a high-tech, pressure-sensing insole and wristband that tells the user when damage is being done to the feet. The product is designed to mitigate diabetic foot complications, such as ulceration, infection and amputation. Patients are often unaware when pressure thresholds are being abused because of peripheral neuropathy. The result is tissue damage, leading to ulceration, and often, amputation. The SurroSense Rx collects pressure data from the foot and wirelessly sends that information to the user via an ergonomic wristband-based display. The display alerts the user when damage is being done so that behavior can be changed and these devastating complications can be avoided. This product will be ready for purchase by late 2012.
