Summary
In a prospective study involving 22 patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU), the use of media files via SMS was found to be a reliable method for monitoring patients treated with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT). The study highlights the specificity and sensitivity of remote monitoring through WhatsApp, suggesting its potential as an excellent tool for documenting and tracking the wound process and complications in diabetic foot and leg ulcers. Healthcare providers may find this approach valuable, especially for patients in rural areas and during pandemics.
