About this study

Diabetes is a common chronic metabolic disease worldwide. Approximately 50% to 60% of ulcers caused by diabetes become infected, and moderate to severe infections can lead to lower limb amputation. Among amputees, the five-year mortality rate exceeds 70%.Smart devices (mobile phones, computers, etc.) are indispensable necessities to modern lives. Downloadable mobile health applications (mHealth Apps) on smartphones are widely used in medical care . The use of these apps on smartphones has created a new field in the health industry known as mobile health
