About DPNCheck

DPNCheck is a rapid, accurate and quantitative point-of-care test to detect diabetic peripheral neuropathy, or DPN, at an early stage allowing physicians to select appropriate treatment. DPN is the most common complication of diabetes, affecting over half of people with diabetes. It causes significant morbidity including pain, increased risk of falling in the elderly, and is the primary trigger for diabetic foot ulcers which may require lower extremity amputations. DPNCheck is marketed in the U.S. to Medicare Advantage providers for profiling their patient population as well as guiding treatment. It is marketed in Japan by Omron Healthcare and in Mexico by Scienta Pharma. For product information visit DPNCheck.com.
