Publication number: 20230240542Abstract: A method of monitoring a patient's foot forms a thermogram of the sole of at least one foot of the patient, and determines whether the thermogram presents at least one of a plurality of prescribed patterns. The method also compares the thermogram against a prior thermogram of the same foot, and produces output information indicating the emergence of an ulcer on a given portion on the at least one foot as a function of 1) whether the thermogram is determined to present the at least one pattern, and 2) the comparison with the prior thermogram, which shows non-ulcerated tissue at the given location.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2023Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: David Robert Linders, Jonathan David Bloom, Jeffrey Mark Engler, Brian Jude Petersen, Adam Geboff, David Charles Kale

Patent number: 9259178Abstract: A method of monitoring at least one foot of a patient provides an open platform for receiving at least one foot. The open platform has at least one temperature sensor for generating a plurality of temperature data values after receipt of the at least one foot. The method also forms a thermogram of the sole of the at least one foot from the temperature data values, and determines whether the thermogram presents at least one of a plurality of prescribed patterns. Finally, the method produces output information indicating the risk of an ulcer emerging on the foot as a function of whether the thermogram is determined to present the at least one prescribed pattern.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2013Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Podimetrics, Inc.Inventors: Jonathan David Bloom, David Robert Linders, Jeffrey Mark Engler, Brian Jude Petersen, Adam Geboff, David Charles Kale

The platform has at least one temperature sensor for generating a plurality of temperature data values after receipt of the at least one foot. The method then forms a thermogram of the sole of the at least one foot from the temperature data, and determines whether the thermogram presents at least one of a plurality of prescribed patterns. Next, the method produces output information indicating the emergence of a pre-ulcer or progression of a known pre-ulcer in the at least one foot as a function of whether the thermogram is determined to present the at least one pattern.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: Podimetrics, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Mark Engler, David Robert Linders, Jonathan David Bloom, Brian Jude Petersen, Adam Geboff, David Charles Kale
