Clinical fit intelligence for foot & ankle specialists

From clinical decision to a wearable system.

OrthopedicPlus connects the patient, movement, suitable footwear and the clinician-selected insole—carrying clinical intent into a system that can be verified without replacing clinical judgement.

Built for clinical teams

Clinical authority stays with the clinician.

FootSnap supports the transition from assessment or diagnosis to product selection. It does not diagnose, prescribe or override the treating professional.

01 · DPM

Doctors of Podiatric Medicine

Link examination findings, prescription requirements and footwear fit in one patient-specific view.

02 · Podiatry

Podiatrists

Add bilateral geometry and product-volume evidence to assessment, treatment and footwear selection.

03 · Foot & ankle

Orthopaedic foot surgeons

Carry post-treatment or surgical requirements into a compatible insole–footwear system.

What the matching layer adds

Make the last clinical step measurable.

The objective is not another isolated scan. It is a clearer, product-specific decision that respects the treatment pathway and the patient’s real-world use.

01

Translate clinical intent

Carry the assessment into the footwear decision.

Connect bilateral foot geometry, observed movement and the clinician’s requirements to the internal dimensions and behaviour of the finished footwear system.

02

Protect the prescribed function

An insole changes the space the foot can use.

Select suitable footwear first, then evaluate the clinician-selected insole inside it so that depth, width, closure and usable volume support—not compromise—the intended intervention.

03

Support patient acceptance

A clinically sound solution still has to be worn.

Balance therapeutic requirements with comfort, ease of use, appearance and the patient’s daily life to support continued use.

The clinical workflow

One patient. Their movement. Their footwear. Their insole.

FootSnap connects these four elements before and after the clinical decision—first to support footwear selection, then to verify the complete system.

Initial assessment & scanning

01
Arrival & intake

The patient is checked in and the relevant clinical and use context is captured.

02
Initial digital scanning

A staff member scans both feet to capture structural and biometric data for review.

03
Movement assessment

Gait, loading, functional asymmetries and use-specific movement requirements are documented.

Insoles not required

Assessment to footwear

  1. 01
    Clinical assessment

    A staff member or podiatrist reviews the scan and confirms that orthotic intervention is unnecessary.

  2. 02
    FootSnap footwear match

    The fitting engine presents footwear recommendations matched to the patient’s bilateral foot shape, observed movement and intended use.

Diagnosis to system match

  1. 01
    Clinical diagnosis

    The podiatrist, Doctor of Podiatric Medicine or orthopaedic foot surgeon performs the complete clinical and biomechanical assessment and determines the diagnosis.

  2. 02
    FootSnap footwear selection

    The engine identifies footwear compatible with both feet, movement, clinical use and the space required for the future insole.

  3. 03
    Insole design and provision

    The clinician selects or designs the insole for the patient, movement and chosen footwear. It may be provided by any eligible insole company.

  4. 04
    Final FootSnap verification

    The patient, movement, selected footwear and insole are assessed together for fit and functional compatibility.

Integrated into both patient pathwaysPatient + movement → footwear → insole → verified recommendation

One connected system

Stop fitting each component in isolation.

The patient and movement requirements guide footwear selection. The insole must then work inside that footwear without compromising usable volume, function or acceptance. FootSnap evaluates the complete relationship.

FootSnapPatient-to-product matchClinical intent remains the governing input
01

The patient

Bilateral 3D foot shape, volume, asymmetry and the clinical context.

02

Movement

Gait, loading, functional demands and how the patient uses the solution in daily life.

03

The footwear

Internal length, width, depth, closure, upper behaviour and usable volume.

04

The insole

Clinician-selected geometry, displacement and support designed for the patient, movement and footwear.

3D → 4D intelligenceShape is the beginning.
Movement completes the picture.

Static morphology can be enriched with gait, pressure, swelling, fatigue and time—so the recommendation reflects how the complete system is actually used.

Independent matching layer

The clinician chooses the solution. FootSnap connects it.

FootSnap does not manufacture footwear or insoles.

Orthotic insoles may be provided by any company. FootSnap supplies the vendor-neutral intelligence that connects the patient, movement requirements, compatible footwear and the clinician-selected insole.

Implementation and product delivery are supported through certified partners. The treating clinician retains responsibility for diagnosis, prescription and clinical review.

From prescription to real life

The best therapeutic footwear is the footwear patients keep wearing.

Clinical function is essential. So are comfort, ease of use, appearance and confidence. The matching process makes these constraints visible while keeping the clinical objective intact.

02Fits daily lifeActivity, environment and routines shape the match.
03Supports dignityChoice and appearance can influence continued use.
04Can be reviewedFit can be reassessed as the patient or product changes.

Evidence-aware by design

Measure what matters. State what is known.

For patients at elevated clinical risk, fitting and footwear decisions remain under appropriately qualified professional supervision. Where pressure reduction is the objective, it should be verified dynamically—not assumed from appearance or labelled size.
