From Feet to Full Health
Managing diabetic foot complications starts with prevention. Our virtual care solution monitors foot health with personalized support and advanced remote monitoring technology to help identify risks early and prevent serious complications. This seamless solution provides continuous support for payors, members, and providers, ensuring timely intervention and better health outcomes.
Simple Solution. Real Results.
Enable early risk identification and proactive intervention, keeping members, payors, and providers informed every step.
Our virtual care program helps prevent diabetes-related complications by monitoring foot health at home—keeping members, payors, and providers connected and informed between visits. At the center of the program is the SmartMat, a clinically proven device that members use for just 20 seconds a day. It measures foot temperature, and Podimetrics reviews the data to help detect early signs of inflammation that may lead to serious complications like ulcers—or even amputations. When a potential issue is identified, our clinical team proactively reaches out to the member and, when needed, the provider—helping ensure timely intervention and continuity of care.

Training and Education
How we support and stay connected with members.
Reengagement
If a patient stops scanning, we follow up with reminders.
Wellness
We routinely check in with patients whose scans are normal to gather additional insights.
Offloading
If scans show foot temperature asymmetry, we call to guide offloading and daily foot checks.
Resolution
After receiving consistent normal scans, we help patients return to their usual routine.
Inflammation Check-in
Following offloading, we monitor progress through regular calls.
Tech Support
We’ll help resolve technical issues patients may experience.
The Science Behind Better Outcomes
