In this episode of The Impact Interviews we dive into the inspiring journey of David and Heather, the visionary co-founders of Kaydiar Limited. Established in 2018 as a spin-out from Cardiff Metropolitan University, Kaydiar is on a mission to revolutionize foot care through innovative technologies. David and Heather co-founded the company to address the gaps in current solutions for diabetic foot care. His vision led to the development of the DiaSole and ZeroSole products, designed to help those suffering from diabetic foot ulcers and pressure-induced corns or calluses. These products feature customizable hexagonal mesh frames, allowing wearers to adjust the soles to meet their treatment needs. Heather, with her hands-on expertise in lower-limb biomechanics and diabetic foot disease from both the NHS and private practice, brings a wealth of knowledge to the company. Together, they are determined to improve patient outcomes and tackle the growing health crisis of diabetic foot disease.

Kaydiar is also looking to the future with their groundbreaking PROMorph technology, a revolutionary composite material set to disrupt the podiatry and orthotics industry. This new innovation aims to enhance recovery for patients using casts, braces, and other medically-prescribed orthotics, marking the next step in Kaydiar’s mission to make a lasting impact on healthcare. Tune in for an exciting conversation about innovation, entrepreneurship, and the drive to improve lives through cutting-edge medical technology.
