VILLAGE STARTUP

Description

With an aging population and the rise of chronic diseases, connected health technologies play an increasing role in maintaining independence and preventing age-related complications. Among these, medical remote monitoring for diabetes has become a key tool for promoting healthier aging. In this context, Advanced Care Technologies is developing an innovative solution dedicated to preventing the recurrence of diabetic foot ulcers, a common complication among elderly patients living with diabetes. Nearly one in three patients will develop an ulcer in their lifetime, with a high risk of recurrence within the first year. These lesions, often silent due to neuropathy (loss of sensation), can lead to extensive hospitalization, loss of independence, and, in the most severe cases, amputation. The technology relies on a connected insole that continuously analyzes pressure points and areas of plantar hyperpressure. The collected data is transmitted to a remote monitoring software platform that cross-references it with the patient's clinical information to establish a personalized risk score. This approach enables the early detection of high-risk situations that are often invisible to patients with impaired plantar sensitivity. Designed to integrate into the care pathways of the elderly, the solution aims to extend mobility and prevent loss of independence. If a critical threshold is exceeded, healthcare professionals are alerted in real-time to quickly adjust the care strategy. Patients also receive notifications via a mobile application, encouraging personal engagement and the adoption of daily preventive behaviors.
