摘要:
A method determines the emergence of an ulcer or a pre-ulcer on at least one foot of a patient provides one or more processors and a modality for receiving at least one foot. The method generates, using a plurality of temperature sensors, discrete temperature data values after receipt of the at last one foot. The plurality of discrete temperature data values represents temperatures at different locations of the at least one foot. Next, the method compares, using a prescribed function, each of the discrete temperature data values to one of a plurality of different predetermined values. The predetermined values are different for at least two different locations of the at least one foot. The method then produces output information indicating an emergence of an ulcer or a pre-ulcer on the at least one foot as a result of comparing.
