A non-invasive medical test called biothesiometry is used to assess vibration perception by determining its threshold.
It is used in neurology and electrophysiology to identify a variety of disorders where the vibration perception threshold (VPT) would be higher than usual, such as diabetic neuropathy and erectile dysfunction. The test’s numerical format can be used to stage the development of problems or disease.
A biothesiometer, which consists of a handheld probe connected to a display unit, is used to conduct the test. Commercially, both digital and analogue kinds are available, providing the reading on a dial or a screen.
The only diagnostic techniques with good sensitivity and specificity were biothesiometry and tiny microfilaments, according to a comprehensive evaluation of screening techniques for paediatric diabetic peripheral neuropathies.
A thorough analysis revealed a significant correlation between HbA1c values and the Vibration Perception Test, which may be a predictor of difficulties in the foot after diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
Digital instruments to detect tactile sensitivity, vibration perception, thermal perception, and foot skin temperature were examined in a holistic evaluation of contemporary tools available for the assessment and screening of peripheral neuropathy.
The Global Biothesiometer market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The Symbiosis Centre for Metabolic & Endocrine Disorders is equipped with a body composition analyzer, a skinfold thickness measurement calliper, a biothesiometer for early neuropathy detection, a handheld vascular doppler, a podiascan, etc.
Additionally, a nutritionist and a nurse diabetic educator will be on hand to provide advice to patients and their loved ones about the importance of eating the proper diet.
Preventing issues and making sure patients are guided to maintain a healthy lifestyle are the key priorities of the centre.
The centre has access to all associated experts, including cardiology, podiatric surgery, neurology, and ophthalmology, to ensure comprehensive care.
Additionally, obesity is a significant lifestyle issue, and the centre seeks to treat such individuals surgically and non-surgically.
In recent years, the digitization of healthcare and its application to healthcare delivery have seen exponential expansion throughout the world.
The rapidly expanding diabetes population in India has put tremendous strain on the nation’s healthcare system. The trajectory of digital health in diabetes is changing as a result of the convergence of several cutting-edge and developing technologies.
For the prevention and management of the condition, the diabetes community has been embracing various technologies, including connected glucose metres, continuous glucose monitoring systems, continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion, closed-loop systems, digitalization of health data, and diabetes-related apps.
