While France reports 3.5 million people living with diabetes, the United States faces a staggering 30 million cases. To tackle this crisis and its severe complications, U.S. startup Siren Car has pioneered connected socks. Why? In the U.S. alone, nearly 100,000 diabetic patients undergo amputations each year.
This tragedy often stems from poor diabetes management, where excess blood sugar narrows arteries, restricts oxygen flow, and triggers tissue damage—frequently in the feet. Siren Car's innovative socks feature embedded sensors that track foot temperature continuously, sending instant alerts via a companion app if inflammation is detected.
Clinical trials with the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) are underway to confirm efficacy. Undeterred, the startup has launched sales on their website, pricing the socks at $120 a pair.
