Affordable Web-Based Foot-Ankle Exercise Program for Diabetic Foot Care
Key Findings:
An affordable web-based foot-ankle exercise program, SOPeD, has proven effective in treating modifiable risk factors for ulcer prevention in individuals with diabetes-related peripheral neuropathy (DPN). The program effectively reduced foot pain, improved foot function, and demonstrated favorable cost-effectiveness.
Practical Solutions and Value:
The study revealed that the SOPeD program is a potential game-changer for modifiable risk factors for ulcers. It showed a high likelihood of cost-effectiveness for improving DPN symptoms and severity, foot pain, and function. The program’s effectiveness and cost-effectiveness make it a feasible and balanced integration into public health systems, with potential to enhance functional and clinical outcomes.
Further Considerations:
While the intervention did not prove to be cost-effective in terms of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), the study highlights the need for further research and considerations to inform decisions to stakeholders and successfully implement this preventive program on a larger scale.
AI-Driven Clinical Support:
Clinical trials are essential for developing safe and effective treatments. Our AI-driven platform, DocSym, consolidates ICD-11 standards, clinical protocols, and research into a single, easily accessible knowledge base for clinicians, extending the benefits of clinical trials into everyday medical practice.
Streamlining Healthcare Operations:
In today’s healthcare environment, streamlining operations is crucial. Our mobile apps support scheduling, monitoring treatments, and telemedicine, making it easier to manage patient care and expand services digitally. By using AI, clinics can enhance their workflows and improve patient outcomes, reducing paper routine.
