Abstract: The morbidity and death rates linked to diabetes mellitus are substantially increased by
foot ulcers, a prevalent consequence of the disease. Proper wound management is essential for controlling
foot ulcers. This includes monitoring the ulcers' healing progress through clinical reviews,
changing dressings as needed, treating infections with the right medications, and ensuring that the
ulcer is offloaded correctly. Taking pictures of the ulcer was a dependable way to track how diabetic
foot ulcers were healing in the past. Images of foot ulcers have recently experienced a tremendous
change due to the emergence of digital cameras in cell phones. Artificial intelligence
(AI) and other recent developments in digital health technology present a great chance to improve
the efficiency of diabetes care, which might reduce the growth in healthcare costs associated with
diabetes. Patients with diabetes can alleviate the burden on clinics and patients' transportation demands
by electronically sharing photos of their ulcers, which diabetes care providers can remotely
monitor. Improved remote monitoring of diabetic foot ulcers using smartphone apps is now possible
with the help of a new generation of AI-powered solutions. This clinical update review aims to
gather information on this trending topic so that medical professionals can be current on all the latest
advancements in the field.
