Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial to test for preventive effects of diabetic foot ulceration by telemedicine that includes sensor-equipped insoles combined with photo documentation

This study addresses principal aspects in the prevention of DFUs. First, the sensor-equipped insole will be evaluated for daily performance in home-based measurements of foot temperatures. Second, a telemedicine structure is tested that evaluates sensor data automatically and proposes suitable intervention measures under the supervision of a physician. Third, predictive models for DFUs will be built using the collected sensor data allowing for interpretations, which in the future may support medical care providers.Trial registrationGerman Clinical Trials Register (DRKS),DRKS00013798.
