Pingoo for Podiatry: 2am DFU Coaching That Keeps Healing on Track Between Visits
product
Pingoo is WoundScribe's multilingual patient coach for diabetic foot ulcer patients — offloading offloading, dressing, and red-flag questions in the moments clinicians aren't in th
Diabetic foot ulcers don't heal in the exam room. They heal — or fail — in the 27 days between visits, when the patient is deciding whether to wear the boot, when to call, and whether that new drainage matters. Pingoo is the WoundScribe agent that lives in the patient's pocket and answers those questions in their language, at the hour they actually ask them.
What Pingoo does for a DFU patient
- Reinforces the offloading plan the DPM prescribed, with reminders tied to the specific device (TCC, CAM walker, post-op shoe).
- Walks the patient or caregiver through dressing changes with step-by-step multilingual guidance.
- Triages red flags — new drainage, odor, fever, streaking — and tells the patient when to call the clinic versus go to the ED.
- Nudges glycemic and smoking behaviors that stall granulation, without shaming.
- Feeds engagement signals back into the healing dashboard so the clinician sees adherence, not just wound size.
Why it matters for the limb clock
Every missed offloading day extends time-to-heal, and every extra week of an open DFU raises infection and amputation risk. Pingoo closes the gap between the DPM's plan and the patient's Tuesday night — the window competitors don't touch. Paired with the AI-powered EMR for wound care, the coaching content is generated from the actual visit note, so the patient hears back exactly what was decided at the bedside.
