Abstract

The use of computer supported diagnosis for the early detection of illness-related complications is of utmost importance not only for the ill individual, but also for the society in general. This paper describes one approach to address the early detection of complications in diabetic feet, achieved by the use of a new device created using out-of-the box components, and complemented with a software ecosystem. This paper describes the solution and the ongoing research.
