About Podimetrics: 

Founded in 2011, Podimetrics set out on a mission to improve patient lives through early detection and prevention of diabetic foot ulcers, the leading cause of lower limb amputations. Podimetrics has since evolved to become a rapidly growing virtual care management company with advanced technology and patient-centered services.

Today, Podimetrics teams with and provides solutions to patients, payers and providers that alleviate the  health and financial implications of diabetic foot complications in high-risk populations. We are a mission  driven, financially responsible enterprise that enables patients to stand on their own feet and live more  independent and fulfilling lives. 

Core Values:

Mission First: We are here to drive critical change, bring hope and compassionate care to those in great need.

People Matter Most: We advance our mission by caring for our people (colleagues, patients, providers, customers and stockholders), treating them with kindness and respect.

Courageous Action: We are driven to act and demand mutual accountability. We believe that missteps foster learning and iterative improvement.

Healthy Debate: We commit to transparent discussion and resulting decisions. The very best decisions come from differing points of view, requiring good intentions, mutual trust and no ego.

Deep Curiosity: We are always striving to learn more and do better. We question if the best we have ever done couldn’t be improved further.
