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.
