This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether personalized lifestyle coaching can help people with diabetic foot ulcers better stick to their treatment and prevent their ulcers from getting worse. A licensed occupational therapist will work with you one-on-one (by video call) to create a plan that fits your life, daily routines, and goals. The goal is to make it easier for you to follow the recommended pressure-relief treatments that help these wounds heal.
Diabetic foot ulcers are serious wounds that can lead to amputation if they don't heal properly. While taking pressure off the foot (called offloading) is the key to healing, many people find it hard to stick with these treatments because they interfere with normal life. This study wants to find out if helping people adjust their lifestyle to fit the treatment — rather than just telling them what to do — makes a real difference.

You will meet with an occupational therapist for up to 8 sessions over 8 weeks, all by video call from your home. Together, you'll work on creating a personalized plan to help you manage your foot ulcer in ways that fit your real life. You'll also fill out some surveys before and after the program to share how you're doing, and some participants will be asked to do a brief interview about their experience.
