Bluedrop Medical

Bluedrop Medical Limited specializes in developing, manufacturing, and commercializing an Internet of Things-enabled device designed for the early detection of diabetic foot ulcers. Founded in 2014 and based in Galway, Ireland, the company offers a home-based system that conducts daily scans of patients' feet. This data is then transmitted to the cloud for analysis using advanced algorithms capable of identifying abnormalities. By detecting skin damage early, the device aims to significantly reduce the risk of amputation, which is a critical concern as up to 25% of individuals with diabetes may develop foot ulcers, often due to peripheral neuropathy. The innovative technology not only enhances patient care but also has the potential to lower healthcare costs associated with severe complications arising from untreated foot ulcers.
