SPECIAL CORPORATE SECTION

Corporate Profile: DARCO International, Inc.
DARCO International, Inc., was founded in 1985 by H. Darrel Darby, DPM. Dr.
Darby was a graduate of the then-Ohio
College of Podiatric Medicine and served
as APMA president in 1976; he is credited with designing the
first modern-day post-operative shoe. Since that time, DARCO
has become a leader in the manufacture and distribution of
post-operative footwear and offloading products.
Dr. Darby was a staunch supporter of podiatric education.
DARCO supports the APMA Educational Foundation at the Visionary level through a contribution of $500,000 that goes to
student scholarships. DARCO is also a corporate partner of the
American Podiatric Medical Students' Association. Additionally,
DARCO takes great pride in supporting the podiatric schools
through sponsorships of and donations to functions held at
the schools. DARCO attends and exhibits at various podiatry
meetings on a yearly basis. DARCO supports state and nation-

al conferences willingly and looks forward
to those meetings.
DARCO is not just another company
that serves the podiatric profession; its
roots are deep and ingrained in podiatry and podiatric education, and the company strives to be involved in the podiatric community as much as possible.
DARCO's products will never be the cheapest on the market, which was never the company's goal. DARCO wants to be
the best and be a true partner in podiatry. DARCO will never
forget its roots, and the company will always strive to deliver
products that assist podiatrists in helping their patients start the
healing process. So when you have a choice of products, choose
the company loyal to podiatry.

Corporate Profile: Siren
Siren creates temperature-monitoring
socks to detect early signs of inflammation. The socks are made with Neurofabric, which seamlessly embeds the sensors
within the fabric of the sock itself.
The socks are machine-washable and
machine-dryable, and they don't need to be
charged. All the patient has to do is put on
the socks. There are no buttons on the socks, and they turn on
automatically when the patient wears them.
The data is sent to the Siren app and to the physician dashboard. When a hotspot is detected, the patient and the clinic get
a notification. The patient can also send photos of his or her feet
to the clinic with the Siren app. With Siren Socks, the podiatrist

and the clinical staff can keep track of patients' feet remotely and catch signs of inflammation early.
Siren Socks come with a cellular connection, so patients don't need a smartphone.
Every six months, the patient gets a fresh
box of socks.
Siren's remote patient monitoring socks
are covered nationally by Medicare under CPT 99453, 99454,
and 99457.
