What are the potential applications of plantar scanners?

Plantar scanners have a wide range of potential applications, encompassing healthcare, sports, rehabilitation, and industry, including the following:

1. Healthcare

Foot Disease Screening

High-precision scanning (±0.5mm) quickly identifies structural abnormalities such as flat feet and high arches, and generates visual reports to aid early intervention.

Diabetic Foot Management

Combined with foot pressure devices, they analyze pressure distribution to predict the risk of plantar ulcers and customize protective plans for patients.

2. Sports and Rehabilitation

Personalized Insole Customization

Designs orthotic insoles based on 3D models (STL format) to precisely match arch support needs and improve gait.

Athlete Equipment Optimization

Provides athlete foot shape data to customize athletic shoes for improved comfort and performance.

3. Industrial and Consumer Sector

Smart Shoe Selection System

Scanned data can match shoe sizes to shoe styles, eliminating the problem of inaccurate sizing when purchasing online.

Shoe Last Design and Manufacturing

Generates over 60 sets of parameters to support personalized shoe last production, improving shoemaking efficiency.

4. Long-term Health Management

Stores a 3D model of the user's foot for regular review and tracking of correction results.

Technical Advantages: Non-contact measurement (takes only seconds), data traceability, and support for direct 3D printing.
