Diabetic Foot Complications: A Growing Global Crisis

Millions of lives and billions of dollars are lost every year due to preventable diabetic foot complications. It’s time to act

A Problem Too Big to Ignore

Global Statistics

  • 537 million individuals live with diabetes globally.
  • 38-53 million people are at risk of diabetic foot complications annually.
  • 3.5-4.7 million amputations result from diabetic foot complications every year.

Economic Burden

  • $174 billion annual economic burden caused by diabetic foot syndrome.
  • $9-13 billion in direct costs for diabetic foot ulcers.
  • $81,000 per patient for an amputation.

Beyond the Numbers: The Human Toll

Mortality Rates:

Studies show that nearly 50% of diabetic foot amputation patients die within 5 years of surgery.

Amputations and Quality of Life:

For many patients, diabetic foot complications result in partial or full limb amputations, severely impacting their quality of life.

What’s Causing This Crisis?

Late Detection:

Patients often realize they have complications when it’s too late to prevent ulcers or amputations.

Patient Compliance Problems:

Lack of regular monitoring and follow-ups due to difficulty accessing healthcare.

Healthcare Gaps:

Limited access to advanced diagnostic tools in many regions.

Economic Barriers:

High treatment costs make it inaccessible for many patients.

The Need for Innovation

Why the Status Quo Isn’t Enough:

Traditional approaches rely on manual examinations or limited tools that fail to detect problems early. A new solution is critical to save lives and reduce costs.
