Bathroom Scale that Detects Diabetic Ulcers
UlcerScale is a consumer product that looks and works similar to the same bathroom scale you have in your home. UlcerScale is used by people suffering with diabetes to help them prevent diabetic foot ulcers, a very serious side affect of the disease. Foot ulcers are open sores that occur mainly due to poor blood circulation and reduced feeling in the lower extremities. Foot ulcers can develop in as little as 24-36 hours and often lead to infection and, eventually, foot amputation. Sadly, the trouble doesn’t stop there, once a person has undergone their first amputation, the chances for living past 5 years is LESS THAN 20%.
Fortunately, UlcerScale is here and can help countless people suffering from this horrible problem! If you know how to use a bathroom scale, you’ll have no problem using UlcerScale. Diabetics simply stand on UlcerScale once a day for a few seconds at which point skin temperatures are measured at various locations at the bottom of each foot. UlcerScale, with the help of patent pending technologies, then analyzes the information and provides audible and visual feedback to the user of the severity and risk of developing ulcers. The science behind UlcerScale comes from numerous studies that have shown that the earliest sign of ulcer formation is an increase in skin temperature.
Millions of people are suffering with diabetes and this population is growing fast. UlcerScale will help so many people live each and every day without the fear of foot infection or limb amputation.
