Risks Caught and Lives Changed

When a Discolored Callus Led to a Same-Day Intervention

During a routine wellness call, a 70-year-old with Type 2 Diabetes reported a discolored callus with lifted edges—something their provider wasn’t yet aware of. The Podimetrics team acted fast, alerting the provider, who saw the individual the same day. The area was trimmed and treated early, preventing it from developing into a wound or ulcer.

Because the Podimetrics team escalated the concern quickly, the patient received same-day care, avoiding what could have become a serious and costly complication.

A Subtle Sign That Stopped a Serious Complication

A 62-year-old with Type 2 Diabetes and a history of foot ulcers used the Podimetrics SmartMat™ daily when it detected a temperature asymmetry. The Clinical Support Team reached out, uncovering a new wound. An urgent provider alert led to early treatment, and with ongoing monitoring, the wound fully healed, preventing infection, hospitalization, or even amputation.

By flagging subtle temperature changes before symptoms worsened, proactive monitoring turned a silent risk into a successful recovery, before it became a costly complication.

How One Wellness Call Prevented a Hidden Risk

During a routine wellness call with Podimetrics, a 47-year-old with Type 2 Diabetes mentioned a painless foot lesion she hadn’t reported to her provider. The Podimetrics team took swift action, ensuring she scheduled an evaluation and reinforced healthy foot habits including daily foot checks and continued daily scanning. Within 11 days, she received treatment, preventing infection, ulceration, or even amputation.

A simple wellness call can reveal significant clinical issues a provider may not yet be aware of. In this case, early detection and quick follow-up helped avoid a serious complication, and kept the patient one step ahead of risk.

A Medicaid Plan’s Success in Reaching Rural Members and Reducing Spend

A Medicaid plan serving rural, urban, and remote communities faced high rates of diabetic foot complications, driven by limited access to podiatry care and delayed detection. To close the gap, the plan implemented the Podimetrics SmartMat and virtual care program for targeted high-risk members.

How Kaiser Permanente Reduced Amputations and ER Visits with the SmartMat

Facing high rates of diabetic foot complications among high-risk patients, Kaiser Permanente partnered with Podimetrics to implement a proactive foot monitoring program. To address this, the Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medical Group implemented the Podimetrics SmartMat as part of a diabetic foot prevention program. The SmartMat enabled once-daily thermometry-based foot monitoring, allowing clinicians to detect early signs of inflammation remotely and intervene before complications worsened.

The program led to a 71% reduction in diabetic amputations, 52% fewer ER visits, 40% fewer hospitalizations, and a 26% drop in outpatient visits among high-risk participants.

Lightening the Load While Improving Care

Support That Helped a VA Clinic Manage High-Risk Patients with Ease

At a VA facility in Nebraska, podiatry staff were caring for a large population of high-risk Veterans with a history of foot complications. To stay ahead of inflammation and wounds without overwhelming the clinic, they enrolled over 100 patients in the Podimetrics SmartMat Program. Veterans consistently scanned from home and shared how easy and comfortable the process was. Behind the scenes, Podimetrics delivered timely communication and scan insights to help the clinic prioritize care and focus attention where it was needed most. This consistent support allowed providers to stay proactive and deliver better care to those who needed it, while easing the daily burden on the clinic.

Remote Monitoring That Lightened the Load for Providers

At a VA facility in Virginia, podiatry staff were facing mounting pressure to monitor a large number of high-risk patients—many of whom needed frequent follow-up to prevent diabetic foot complications.

By integrating the SmartMat into patients’ homes, the team was able to monitor risk remotely, reducing the need for frequent in-person visits. It also supported pre-room care and preventive maintenance for their highest-risk patients. The result? Less strain on clinic schedules, more proactive care, and greater confidence from both patients and providers.

A Safety Net for Providers When Visits Fall Through

At a VA wound clinic in New York, a Veteran canceled his follow-up appointment, stating his wound had healed, but it still looked red. Because he was using the SmartMat at home, Podimetrics detected concerning temperature changes and escalated the concern to the clinic.

Because of the alert, the clinic was able to schedule a new appointment with the patient, and catch the complication early, before it worsened. This timely intervention not only protected the patient but also gave the provider peace of mind, knowing they had a safety net to catch issues that might have otherwise gone unchecked.
