Prof. Brian Kennon, MD National Lead of Diabetes in Scotland "I use thermal imaging on daily basis. Originally the thermal imaging system was acquired to support the diagnosis of Charcot Foot. But never the less, thermal imaging has shown to be really useful also in locating and following up on many other complications. Imaging is a fast tool in my daily work." Antti Juntunen Podiatrist, Tampere University Hospital "Thermal Imaging is a useful tool e.g. in functional assessment of special footwear and support insoles. With thermal imaging, I am able to exclude potential problems and give a patient peace of mind. A thermal image illustrates the importance of care in a very concrete way. That increases positive attitude on care." Mira Haulivuori Podiatrist, Tampere University Hospital "I use thermal imaging in my work almost on daily basis. I use thermal imaging for assessment of Charcot Foot healing process and to follow-up of diabetic foot ulcer care, too. A thermal image tells about foot health and helps to make care decisions. A thermal image helps also a patient to understand foot conditions though foot problems are invisible. In my work thermal imaging is a fast tool to evaluate the need for load-balancing; it is good for load-balance solution assessment, too." Marita Räihä Oulu University Hospital "I act as a private chiropodist and my expertise is in prevention podiatry. I make offloading insoles and support my customers in footwear selection. Manufacturers have not had any methods and/or tools to ensure the functionality of insoles and shoes – now they have! I have been using thermal imaging in the case of my customers and it has been pleasing to see, that thermal imaging is a method with which the functionality of the footwear can be objectively validated." Jaana Huhtanen Chiropodist, Private service provider "We use the device (IRT-384) for a large number of cases and our experiences have been very positive. We can recommend the device for various clients." Stefanie Ott Group leader, Dominikus-Ringeisen-Werk "With a Thermidas thermal imaging system, you can detect things that can’t be seen with the naked eye. I can look at thermal images together with the patient and compare them with the previously taken ones. The patient can see the progress and understand that the treatment is working. It is an incredible tool. This sort of system should be everywhere where diabetic feet are treated and also in primary care to screen for high-risk feet." Susanna Satta Podiatrist, Kantahämeen Keskussairaala "We were able to make faster medical decisions, resulting in better outcomes, decreasing the use of expensive diagnostic exams, and in one case avoid a toe amputation. Thermal imaging enabled enhanced clinical decision making and can be a great patient education tool encouraging behavioural change." Fiona Main NHS Highland I love the Thermidas IRT Tablet! It does a great job at visualising the subtle differences in temperature in my patients because the camera is a very high resolution and medical grade. The process of scanning is quick and the tablet links well to my existing computers to upload to the patient files. Highly recommended!
