Official Title: Feasibility of Remote Wound Care: Implementing a Patient-Centered Remote Wound Monitoring Solution Using a Smartphone Application

Brief Summary: This research is being done to compare two different methods of wound monitoring for chronic wounds: remote wound monitoring using a smartphone app and in-person wound monitoring in a clinic setting.
This will be a pilot non-blinded randomized controlled feasibility trial.
The investigators will enroll 120 patients with an active diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) who present to the multidisciplinary diabetic foot clinic in Baltimore, Maryland.
Patients will be computer randomized 1:1 to receive wound care monitoring using remote DFU monitoring technology or standard in-person monitoring for 12 weeks.
