Balance and gait changes can be an early sign of diabetic peripheral neuropathy — nerve damage affecting the feet and legs that is common in people with type 2 diabetes. We're exploring how Balance Mat's objective, non-invasive sway data could support earlier screening.
The scientific abstract shown below, “Portable, scalable postural sway assessment for population level identification of balance instability in adults with type 2 diabetes: an exploratory analysis” was presented at the international diabetes conference IDF-WPR 2026 & ADC 2026 & Metabolic Diseases, at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre 18-21 August 2026.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy can gradually reduce sensation and stability in the feet and legs, which often shows up first as subtle changes in balance — sometimes before other symptoms are noticed.
This is an emerging area we're actively developing — here's where we see the opportunity.
We are seeking commercial partners to help us commercialise our Balance Mat as a screening tool for type 2 diabetics.
