ClinConnect Summary

The Diabetic Foot Ulcer Imaging- Study 2 is a clinical trial focused on understanding foot ulcers in people with diabetes. If you have been diagnosed with either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes and currently have a foot ulcer, you might be eligible to participate. The study is open to individuals between 76 and 365 years old who are receiving care at specific clinics associated with the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.

During the trial, you will only need to attend one appointment. At this appointment, the research team will measure the size of your foot ulcer and take several pictures using both a smartphone and a thermal camera to help with their analysis. They will also gather some demographic information from your medical records. This study is important because it aims to improve how foot ulcers are treated and understood, helping future patients manage this condition better.
