Achievements

  • Saudi FDA (SFDA) approval for TFscan — described as the world’s first SaMD for diabetic foot screening.
  • Registration with the national procurement authority (NUPCO), enabling nationwide adoption in Saudi healthcare facilities.
  • Publication of the largest global multicenter AI thermography study for diabetic foot risk detection (1,120 patients).
