Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Acquisition of foot ulcerations at any time during a 24-month intervention with a smart shoe insole compared to a non-intervention group without information through a smart shoe insole. The number and time to reach the endpoint are the primary targets. If such an endpoint is reached, the severity level is classified according to the Wagner-Armstrong classification. For the study participants, the exam concludes on reaching the primary endpoint or after the 24 months have elapsed.
Secondary Outcome Measures
