Problem
Many individuals experience foot problems like flat feet, heel pain, and plantar fasciitis, which can lead to discomfort, misalignment, and pain in other parts of the body. Off-the-shelf footwear and insoles often fail to provide adequate support and correction for these specific foot conditions.
Solution
Shapecrunch utilizes a computer vision and machine learning-powered foot scanning application to create custom 3D models of foot orthotics. These models are then used to 3D print personalized insoles, shoes, and sandals designed to correct foot deformities, improve gait, and provide pain relief. The company's products feature customized arch support, medial wedging, heel cups, and pressure offloading to address a variety of foot conditions. Shapecrunch captures over 2000 data points of the foot to create customized inner soles, ensuring a precise fit and optimal biomechanical alignment.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals experiencing foot problems such as flat feet, heel pain, and plantar fasciitis, as well as podiatrists and other medical professionals seeking customized orthotic solutions for their patients.
