Diabetic foot disease is a high-cost condition that demands urgent attention—not only due to the substantial financial burden, but also because it profoundly impacts patients’ quality of life and often leads to disability.
DFUs are #1 cause of amputation
Each year, 150,000 diabetes-related amputations occur in the US1.
$500,000
APMA says a limb amputation resulting from a foot ulcer costs $70,400 and as much as a half-million dollars over a patient’s lifetime2.
$412.9 billion
The total annual cost of diabetes in 2022 was $412.9 billion1, one-third of these costs were attributable to diabetic foot disease.
An empowering tool for patients to take better care of their health by monitoring their feet at home.
