Every 20 seconds, a limb is lost due to diabetes. Every 1.2 seconds there is a new diabetic foot ulcer. There is no amputation without ulceration.
After a patient has an amputation, there is a 50% chance that he or she will have the other limb amputated within two years. Patient life expectancy is less than five years. Same as cancer.
Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFUs) are responsible for more hospitalizations than any other complication of diabetes. At least $40 billion dollars in direct costs annually worldwide. About $17.5B in the U.S. alone.
Our Diabetic boot is compliant to the IWGDF guidelines and was the most referenced product in the latest offloading clinical gold standard guidelines.
However… Subjects with diabetic foot ulcerations wear their offloading devices just 28% of their daily steps.
There is strong evidence that uncomplicated plantar ulcers can be healed in 8 to 12 weeks.
Yet current “standard of care” in US clinical trials have a 76% treatment failure rate at 12 weeks.

Adjust and react to forces under the plantar surface of the foot.
The removable pieces are on the underside of the insole, offloading the ulcer, while the Plastazote top cover, next to the skin, evenly distributes the pressure and minimizes friction.
To ensure even distribution of pressure and minimize the risk of developing new foot ulcers, the insole is heat-moldable.
Sensoria’s incredibly thin smart insole can be placed in the boot to ensure a perfect fit.
Coaching
The Diabetic Foot Ulcer Boot App coaches patients on their compliance.
Tracks activities like steps, minutes active, minutes resting and how long the boot is off.
The app communicates directly with the physician’s system providing them real-time updates on the patient.
Clinical Dashboard
The Diabetic Foot Ulcer Boot Powered by Sensoria offers RPM opportunities to physicians. The boot continuously monitors patient compliance. Sending patients and physicians valuable data that will help guide and alter treatment plans. The Sensoria Dashboard calculates the amount of time the physician is monitoring the patient to determine if they can be reimbursed for remote patient monitoring. Physicians are now able to bill Medicare for these services.
Initially, yes, the patient can remove the boot; however, this should ONLY be done while sleeping or taking a shower. If the patient is not adherent to these guidelines, the physician can make the boot irremovable.
The boot and monthly service is sold separately. Diabetic foot ulcers vary in recovery time, so you pay as you go, that way you don’t pay for something that you don’t need.
Yes, using the remote patient monitoring CPT codes, 99453. 99454, 99457 and 99458 the monthly service fees are covered and the physician is reimbursed for reviewing the data.
