TruPAD™
is a medical device that measures Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), a condition in which the large and medium-sized arteries that supply blood to the legs and becomes narrow or clogged with plaque, constricting blood flow. PAD reduces blood flow to the feet and legs and can cause pain in the feet and legs and lead to tissue death (gangrene). People with diabetes and a history of smoking are most at risk of developing peripheral artery disease.
Studies say at least 1 in 5 elderly people suffer from hardened arteries reducing blood flow to the limbs.
