BlueDop Medical’s Post

We are pleased to share an article on "The value of accessible vascular assessment tools in diabetic foot disease: An audit of a tertiary level hospital" that was published in the Medical Independent. Authored by Astrid Codemo, this article explores the clinical impact of the BlueDop device in improving vascular assessments for patients with diabetic foot disease.

Key findings include: - The BlueDop device, developed in 2010, enables a cuff-free measurement of the Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) by assessing arterial blood flow in the posterior tibial or dorsalis pedis artery. - In an audit of 23 diabetic patients with active foot ulceration, BlueDop assessments reduced waiting times to just 11 working days, compared with over 10 weeks for traditional vascular laboratory assessments. - The device demonstrated its ability to provide reliable readings even in cases of non-compressible vessels, addressing a key limitation of traditional ABPI methods. With its accessibility and efficiency, BlueDop is particularly suited to community healthcare settings, helping to bridge gaps in care and improve access to timely assessments. The findings underscore the importance of innovative diagnostic tools in reducing delays and improving outcomes for patients with diabetic foot disease. BlueDop is proud to play a part in setting new standards for vascular health. We would like to thank Astrid for her rigorous work in showcasing the clinical potential of the BlueDop device and for furthering the conversation around improving vascular care. Astrid’s efforts align with our mission to make vascular diagnostics more accessible, accurate, and patient-centred. At BlueDop, we remain committed to advancing vascular diagnostics, empowering healthcare providers, and improving patient outcomes worldwide.
