SOLS for now works with around 350 podiatrists and chiropractors, who use its app to scan the feet of their patients to then order the in-soles. The images are sent to the company’s headquarters in New York and then routed to a 3D-printing company in Texas to be produced.

Sensors could be useful in rehabilitation, for instance allowing doctors to monitor a patient’s walking gate to learn more about their injury and help avoid the risk of further damage
