Discover how Orpyx's innovative sensory insoles advance diabetes foot care, enhancing health outcomes and reducing costs through real-time monitoring and support.

Orpyx Medical Technologies Inc. has launched a new generation of its sensor-embedded insole system designed to prevent diabetes-related foot complications—a condition that accounts for more than $80 billion annually in U.S. health care costs.

The Orpyx Sensory Insole program combines wearable technology with behavioral coaching to detect early warning signs of foot health deterioration. The insoles, which do not require charging for up to six months, continuously monitor plantar pressure, foot temperature, step count and wear time. Data is automatically uploaded via a home hub to the Orpyx cloud, giving providers near real-time insight into a patient’s condition.

“This new platform combines durable wearable technology and behavioral support to enable healthcare providers to intervene early before complications escalate,” said Breanne Everett, CEO and founder of Orpyx. “Our goal is to help people stay healthy, avoid hospitalizations, and maintain control over their health.”

Participants in the program are paired with dedicated nurses who provide personalized coaching, check-ins, and support between medical appointments, helping to ensure continuity of care for those with chronic conditions.

Clinical studies have demonstrated significant health and financial benefits. One randomized controlled trial found an 86% reduction in foot re-ulceration among patients who wore earlier versions of the insoles for more than 4.5 hours daily. Another study showed an 84% reduction in ulcer occurrence within three months and a 70% drop in total projected costs.

“This product launch represents a significant advancement in orthotic technology,” said Daniel Ferreras. “By combining clinically validated technology with personalized support, we’re providing patients the tools they need to stay healthier, avoid hospitalization, and maintain their independence.”

The program is designed to scale across government and commercial value-based care markets, particularly targeting accountable care organizations and payers seeking better outcomes at lower cost.

Advances in remote monitoring for chronic disease management

The field of chronic disease management is undergoing a transformation as wearable devices and remote monitoring technologies become increasingly sophisticated and integrated into care models. These innovations are especially promising in managing diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other conditions that require ongoing surveillance outside the clinical setting.

Next-generation monitoring tools now offer continuous, real-time data collection on physiological indicators such as temperature, pressure, glucose levels, and mobility—allowing clinicians to detect complications before they become acute. Advances in sensor durability, battery life, and data transmission have made these tools more practical for patients to use daily without significant lifestyle disruption.

What sets recent developments apart is the combination of data collection with behavioral interventions. Rather than passively tracking health metrics, many programs now incorporate coaching, alerts, and feedback loops that prompt both patients and clinicians to act. Integration with smartphones and cloud platforms allows seamless communication and helps establish accountability and engagement in disease self-management.

Moreover, these technologies align well with the goals of value-based care by reducing hospitalizations, improving patient outcomes, and lowering total health care spending. As the prevalence of chronic conditions continues to rise, particularly among aging populations, the ability to manage disease remotely and proactively is becoming not just a clinical advantage but a financial necessity for health systems and payers.

With ongoing clinical validation and growing interest from providers, remote monitoring solutions are poised to become a foundational element in chronic disease care.
