Embracing technology within Orthotics treatment
In 2020, Raj and the Stepthotix team used lockdown to explore how technology can help patients and the NHS, both of whom continue to suffer due to long waiting lists.
As a result, Stepthotix created a first-of-a-kind Digital Consultation for prescribing orthotic insoles for non-complex foot conditions from the comfort of a patient’s home.
Your Phone + Stepthotix Technology = Digital Consultation
Stepthotix has created a harmonious relationship between Patient, Orthotist and Technology by designing a Digital Consultation. The custom built webApp allows a patient to provide information our Orthotist will need to assess their feet and prescribe corrective insoles for non-complex foot conditions.
STEP 1
Foot Measurement
Open the App to check-in to your consultation. Take a picture of each foot on a piece of A4 paper - our technology will then calculate the exact measurements of your feet.
STEP 2
Sole Observation
Ask someone to take a photo of the bottom of each foot, so we can look for any patterns of hard skin and calluses showing potential signs of biomechanical abnormalities.
STEP 3
Dynamic Assessment
Ask someone to capture four short videos of you performing simple dynamic exercises (touch your toes, heel raises and walking) to help us assess your flexibility and movement.
STEP 4
Pain Questionnaire
Finally, complete a simple questionnaire telling us about any pain you feel and your activity levels. This will help us prescribe the best insoles for you.
After Submission
After 4 simple steps, patients will receive clinical notes and have their prescribed insoles delivered straight to their home in the post.
