Diabetes and Neuropathy
Siren specializes in virtual care for people living with diabetes and neuropathy. People living with diabetes have a greater than 30% risk of developing a foot ulcer in their lifetime. 10% of those ulcers will result in an amputation.
Siren Socks measure foot temperature to help reduce the potential risk of ulcers. Rising foot temperature indicates that inflammation is developing, which may be a sign of injury that could lead to ulcers and other foot complications. Licensed nurses review the data for signs of inflammation and call patients regularly to check on their health. Providers are alerted to potential injuries and determine if a clinic visit is necessary.
