Matthew Boyd and Brian Johnson are joined by Dr. John Bloom and David Linders, co-founders of Podimetrics. They discuss how a chance encounter at MIT's first Hacking Medicine hackathon in 2011 sparked a company that's now saving lives and transforming care for patients with complex diabetes. They explore remote patient monitoring, patient-centered design, and proving that preventative care can work—even in a healthcare system built around treatment.

Podimetrics provides a virtual care solution combining advanced remote monitoring with personalized support, empowering individuals with complex diabetes to reduce complications, lower costs, and improve outcomes. Their approach begins with diabetic foot health and addresses the broader health challenges faced by people with diabetes. At the core of their solution is the SmartMat+—a scientifically validated technology integrating clinical intelligence and real-time monitoring to detect complications before they start. By enabling timely, targeted interventions, Podimetrics helps payors, providers, and patients prevent serious complications, saving lives and limbs.
