Abstract
Despite medical and technological advancements, foot amputations continue to rise. Thus, the effort of diabetic foot management should be toward prevention and early diagnosis. Healthcare professionals need to be trained, equipped, and supported with adequate resources to be able to identify and deliver appropriate foot care. Every effort should be made to minimize the impact of complications and to ensure prompt access to care for everyone. Artificial intelligence and smart technology could provide a significant opportunity to improve efficiency in diabetes care, which may reduce diabetic foot complications. The possible potential of the new technologies which are emerging together with their current developing applications for diabetic foot care are suggested. A call for immediate change in diabetes foot screening guidelines is imperative to save limbs and lives.
