Aim: To assess the feasibility of Diabetic Foot Care Group (DFCG), a social media-based self-management education and support intervention, for people with diabetes (PWD) empowerment in diabetes-related foot ulceration prevention.

In this review, we summarize the evidence on ICT tools used in DFU prevention programs and associated outcomes.
