Tools that Enable Action

Members of the Arche LEAP Collaborative get special access to the Arche Healthcare technology and tools that can be used during the Arche Comprehensive Diabetic Foot Exam (Arche CDFE).

Benefits of the Arche CDFE:

  • Outlines a standardized set of protocols that generate personalized care plans.

  • Helps significantly reduce diabetes-related lower extremity amputations.

  • Ignites patient engagement.

  • Captures data that shows real-time personal health status.

Optyx® Software

Optyx® is Arche Healthcare’s proprietary technology platform and the cornerstone of the Arche LEAP collaborative. Optyx is a fully HIPAA-compliant software that links your EMR and EHR to build a registry of active patients with diabetes.

  • Supports better management of the diabetic patient population

  • Aggregates patient data

  • Flags risk factors

  • Creates actionable insights

Autonomic Neuropathy

These products are designed to detect moisture-related symptoms of autonomic neuropathy in the lower extremities. A foot that is too moist or too dry can lead to wounds.

Neuropad® is a device that objectively and visually detects sudomotor dysfunction (anhidrosis).

DermaStat® is a device that measures skin moisture levels and quickly displays digital results.

Sensory Neuropathy

These products detect sensory neuropathy in the lower extremities. Sensory neuropathy can lead to the inability to feel wounds or ulcers, greatly increasing the chance of a serious complication.

VibraTip is a calibrated vibratory perception device. It compares to the 128Hz tuning fork.

Bailey Monofilament is used to identify loss of protective sensation.

Vascular Status

Because reduced blood flow can inhibit the ability of patients to recognize other problems, we use IRStat® to identify contralateral temperature changes in the lower extremities. IRStat uses infrared technology.

Musculoskeletal

Musculoskeletal issues can lead to areas of high pressure on the foot or ill-fitting shoes.

PressureStat® is a calibrated plantar pressure measuring device that identifies high areas of focal pressure, producing a visual “footprint,” which is an integral part of a biomechanical assessment for the diabetic foot.

The Brannock Device is used to measure a patient’s foot size to ensure properly fitting footwear.
