How Does The Scanner Work?
Our smartphone 3D scanner creates a dot map across the surface of your foot with over 30,000 nodes. That means we capture sub-millimeter level detail in just a few seconds. But that's just part 1.
With advanced AI, we then adjust the foot in post processing to be in subtalar neutral, the gold standard position for orthosis modeling.
Who Uses
3D Scanning
In fact, clinicians use the same scanning technology not only for feet, but it's used for everything from treating shoulder deformity at Stanford University to custom helmets for babies.
When I first experienced the Stride process, I was blown away. The questions asked in their intake form, the scanner, the gait analysis - it all mirrored what I was doing in clinic. I can now remotely offer my patients orthotics that adhere to full podiatry standards.
