About SUDOSCAN+

> Early detection of diabetes complications

SUDOSCAN+ is an innovative device for the early detection of diabetes complications. It is powered by SUDOSCAN.

SUDOSCAN+ has proven to be a reproducible and quantitative test method which is not influenced by level of glycaemia in recent clinical studies where it has performed conventional tests.

SUDOSCAN+ assesses symmetric neuropathies

Most of diabetic neuropathies are symmetric on both limbs [1]. One of our recent clinical study has demonstrated that SUDOSCAN+ assesses symmetric neuropathies [2].

SUDOSCAN+ symmetric neuropathies

ESC: Electrochemical Sweat Conductance – VPT: Vibration Perception Threshold

SUDOSCAN+ detects peripheral neuropathy of hands and feet

  • Correlation coefficient between foot ESC and VPT was -0.45 (p<0.0001) [2]
  • Correlation coefficient between foot ESC and retinopathy status was -0.42 (p<0.0001)  [2]

SUDOSCAN+ reflects anomalies of the sympathetic nervous system

SUDOSCAN+ detects cardiac autonomic neuropathy

Electrochemical Sweat Conductance measured by SUDOSCAN+  reflects sweat function which is sympathetic dependant.

A recent study conducted in Pune, India, has demonstrated that people with ESC<40µS (abnormal ESC) have more risk to have abnormal Ewing tests which reflects cardiac autonomic neuropathy status. [3]
