This retrospective study systematically documented wound healing times using a validated digital wound care solution (DWCS) dataset from 59 various home health organizations across the US that adopted the solution in 2021 and continued its use through 2022 and 2023. The study gathered data from 11,021 diabetic foot ulcer wounds of adult patients. Key findings include:
- 31% improvement in time to heal a diabetic ulcer (DU) with the sustainable use of DWCS from 2022 to 2023 across 59 home health agencies.
- 25.9% decrease in the time to observe improvement in area size for non-healed diabetic ulcers (decreased from 84.8 days to 62.8 days).
- The average time to observe improvement in non-healed DU surface area significantly decreased for ulcers both larger and smaller than 2 cm².
