Design and Development of AI-based solution to predict the early stage of diabetic foot complications empowering diabetic foot care

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic, continually growing metabolic disease that can be brought on by an inability to produce insulin or by an intolerance to the hormone. The number of estimated sufferers in India is 77 million.  Diabetic foot complications (DFC) include neuropathies, calluses, poor circulation, and foot ulcers caused by ischemia, neuropathy, and microvascular and macrovascular damage. DFC is a common but serious complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). These issues contribute to morbidity and mortality by facilitating the development of infections, ulcers, and gangrene. Diabetic foot lesions not only result in pain and morbidity but also have major financial consequences. Early detection of DFC and foot care practices as a preventive measure have shown promising results in prevention of DFC. Hence the aim of the study is to develop and design AI based solution for early diagnosis of diabetic foot complications and to empower foot care practices.
