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.
