Description
Alyson Littman and ten co-authors study why veterans skip a foot health mat in a 2024 paper. The mat tracks foot temperature at home to warn of ulcers. People with diabetes face high ulcer and amputation risk. Little was known about who stops using the mat.
The study covered 1,137 veterans in a national program. About 38 percent were classed as noncompliant users. Poor glucose control and smoking tied most strongly to skipping. Bone infection history and heavy illness burden also played roles. Frequent telehealth visits linked to more skipping as well. The authors urge extra support for those groups. Design tweaks and reminders may also help use.
