  • Patent number: 11627909
    Abstract: An arrangement is provided for monitoring the plantar temperature of the foot having a platform with at least two multi-layer temperature sensitive pads that measure the temperature of a sole of a user's feet. The platform has a scanner for scanning the bottom of the user's feet that produces a digital image thereof. A printed circuit board supports remote connectivity to a mobile application that transmits the scanned digital image of the users' feet to the mobile application for storage and delivery to a physician. The arrangement includes the mobile application that provides a series of diagnostic questions and prompts to the user and is configured to transmit data including the scanned images of the user's feet to a physician.

  • Patent number: 11417425
    Abstract: The present arrangement provides a system for managing diabetic foot care patients that include a communication interface for transmitting diagnostic forms to a doctor device and receiving input from the doctor device. A processor manages the transmissions and received input and a database storing the diagnostic forms and the received input, as well as pre-stored risk assessment guidelines. The system is configured to transmit the diagnostic forms to a doctor device for guiding a comprehensive foot exam, and further, to accept doctor input including at least a plurality of foot examination details and a risk pool assessment. The system compares at least a plurality of foot examination details against the pre-stored risk assessment guidelines and confirms or reject the risk pool assessment input by the doctor if the risk pool assessment is or is not congruent with requirements contained in the pre-stored risk assessment guidelines.

  • Publication number: 20210007656
    Abstract: An arrangement is provided for monitoring the plantar temperature of the foot. The arrangement includes a device for at home use having a platform. The platform has at least two multi-layer temperature sensitive pads that measure the temperature of a sole of a user's feet. The layers of the temperature sensitive pads provide an overall plantar foot temperature profile for the user's feet. The platform has a scanner for scanning the bottom of the user's feet, the scanner produces a digital image thereof. A printed circuit board supports remote connectivity to a mobile application that transmits the scanned digital image of the users' feet to the mobile application for storage and delivery to a physician. The arrangement includes the mobile application on an electronic device of the user. The mobile application provides a series of diagnostic questions and prompts to the user, including the use of the multi-layered temperature sensitive pads and the scanner.

  • Publication number: 20090165334
    Abstract: An insert for a shoe includes an insole for fitting into a shoe and a molded support structure fitted within the insole and a plurality of arch carriers, each of which is shaped to fit in a matting relationship with the molded support structure, where a user selects one of the plurality of arch carriers and inserts the arch carrier into the molded support structure.

  • Patent number: 7337680
    Abstract: A measuring device (10) is used for generating an imprint of a patient's foot. The imprint includes a first set of at least two differentiable color density markings. The first set of differentiable density markings each correspond to a different pressure exerted on the measuring device by different areas of the patient's foot. A calibration card (50) is provided with an indicia including a set of at least two differentiable density markings. Each differentiable density marking in the second set of differentiable density markings on the calibration card has a viewing opening (56) disposed within, such that when the viewing openings in the calibration card are placed over the imprint of the patient's foot, the first set of different density markings from the imprint are viewable through the viewing openings so that they are readably comparable to the second set of differentiable density markings in the indicia on the calibration card.

  • Patent number: 5542196
    Abstract: An innersole for use in a shoe or the like and generally having a shoe-shape said innersole comprising a first region having a first hardness, said first region designed to underlie the periphery of the rearfoot, the centroid region of the foot and the periphery of the forefoot, and, a second region having a second hardness, said second region designed to underlie the calcaneal region and the metatarsal or transverse arch, wherein the first region is about 5 to about 15 Shore A durometer harder than the second region. The first region is preferably a second layer and the second region is preferably a first layer. The first layer is generally shoe-shaped and has a first hardness.
