Problem
Pediatric flatfoot is often diagnosed through subjective visual assessments, lacking quantitative data to track progression or evaluate treatment effectiveness. Traditional clinical evaluations can be time-consuming, require specialized equipment, and may not be easily accessible for regular monitoring at home. This can lead to delayed intervention and potentially less optimal outcomes for children with flatfoot.
Solution
ArchFix offers a mobile application that leverages footprint scanning technology to provide objective assessment of flatfoot deformities in children. The app uses image processing algorithms to analyze foot scans captured via a smartphone camera, generating quantitative metrics related to arch height and foot alignment. Based on these measurements, the application creates personalized exercise plans designed to improve foot health and address specific flatfoot characteristics. Parents can use the app to regularly monitor their child's progress, track changes in foot structure over time, and gain insights into the effectiveness of the prescribed exercises.
Target Audience
The primary target audience is parents of children with flatfoot who are seeking a convenient and objective way to monitor their child's condition and access personalized exercise programs.
