Work-packages

The research related to the STAND UP project is divided into different work packages

We intend to develop, test in clinical situation, improve and disseminate to the market in a very near future a smartphone based system to assess hyperthermia in DF, to develop a system to contribute to the early diagnosis of DF, to follow in an efficient way DF ulcer during treatment, and to improve the conception of foot insole and the choice of personalized foot pad using thermal information. The specific objectives of the STANDUP project are the following:

diabetes-research

Application 1

A first smartphone application A1 (hyperthermia detection and analysis of thermal variations through time) will be developed to detect hyperthermia of the plantar foot surface and to study thermal variations during time after a cold stress test in targeted regions of interest (ROI).

Application 2

A second smartphone application A2 (time follow up of temperature, color, and 3D shape of DF ulcer) will be developed to measure temperature, color, and 3D shape of an ulcer along time.

Insoles

Improvement of insoles using thermal information. In the STANDUP project, it is proposed to take into account thermal factors to design new foot insoles. These new insoles will be tested in clinical trial on DF ulcer patients.
