During the break, the device was demonstrated. It has been shown that the new device today, with an accuracy of about 80%, based on non-invasive (in vivo) optical measurements, makes it possible to classify subjects into three groups in 10 minutes: a group of conditionally healthy, a group with moderate vascular complications and a group of patients with severe complications of diabetes in the form of a diabetic foot.
