SIREN SOCKS
An Easier Way to Monitor Diabetic Neuropathy
Diabetic Neuropathy is a type of nerve damage that can occur if you have diabetes. It typically affects the nerves in the feet and means that a person can no longer feel pain, discomfort, or when an injury occurs (e.g. stepping on something sharp or if a tight-fitting shoe creates a blister). Because most senior diabetics with neuropathy are unaware of their injuries and may not be able to check their feet regularly, their feet are often left untreated and the resulting diabetic ulcers can create infections, require hospitalization, or even the need for amputation.
Siren Socks are a wearable smart device that monitors foot temperature. If a localized “hot spot” appears, physicians are alerted that an injury or other foot complications may have occurred and that an exam is needed. The socks don’t require charging, can be washed with regular laundry, and communicates with doctors in real-time via a plug-in hub. Also, as socks become worn through normal wear, a new pair is shipped to the user like a prescription.
Siren Socks are an FDA-registered Class I medical device and are prescribed only for patients with neuropathy. While temperature monitoring of the feet can be far more effective than visual checks for diabetic ulcers, regular monitoring wasn’t possible before without it interfering with daily life. Siren Socks not only allow diabetic patients to detect issues easier and earlier, but they can also help to prevent the severest of outcomes.
