Siren Care provides temperature-sensing socks to prevent diabetic foot ulcers, which is the leading complication that diabetics suffer from. Studies have shown that temperature monitoring decreases the probability of ulceration by up to 72 percent. While there are some temperature tracking technologies on the market, these technologies are unwieldly to use and require a significant investment of time and disrupts regular routine.
Since Siren Smart Socks is just like an everyday item of clothing, they are both familiar to the wearer and can be readily integrated into their daily life.
Siren Care won the Nordic Independent Living Challenge student prize.
