A Florida-based technology company, MediScan Custom Orthotics, has launched a new mobile phone application called MediScan, which allows users to create medical-grade custom shoe inserts a podiatrist would normally prescribe, without the need to physically see a doctor.
 
These inserts can help with foot pain, foot aches, plantar fasciitis, flat feet, tendonitis, bunion prevention, and general everyday comfort.
 
Through the app, users are guided through the creation process, creating a 3D lidar scan of the users’ feet using a phone or tablet. Those scans are sent for review to a MediScan podiatrist who will design the custom shoe implants based on the user’s unique needs. The finished product is then sent directly to the user’s doorstep.
 
“MediScan is about much more than providing the highest quality custom shoe implants to get patients up and moving again. This is really an advancement for modern medicine, as a whole,” said Dr. Bret Brennan, a podiatrist and MediScan’s co-founder. “We are combining the ease and convenience of telehealth with the creation of custom orthotics, drastically cutting the time it takes for patients to receive the solution that’s right for them. We’re thrilled to launch our mobile app today, and we’re excited to see our brand-new technology in action.”
 
MediScan Custom Orthotic can be delivered anywhere in the United States.
