3D foot scanning with your smartphone

One validated foot scan. Two ways to put it to work.

Q: How accurate is a smartphone 3D foot scan?

In a published validation study against a lab laser scanner and expert calipers, the systematic deviation stayed within 1 mm, inside the 2 mm threshold of ISO 20685. On 5 of 6 foot measurements the scan was more consistent than a trained measurer with calipers.

Q: Which smartphones work?

Almost any modern smartphone, iPhone or Android. No foot scanner hardware and no LiDAR or depth sensor needed.

Q: What do I receive from each scan?

For both feet: 3D foot models as true-to-scale STL in millimetres, 25 orthopaedic measurements per foot, a 1:1 plantar projection and sole print as PDF, and the structured anamnesis.

Q: Who uses ScanSoles Data?

Orthopaedic labs, insole and orthotics manufacturers, clinics and practices, and footwear businesses that need exact foot measurements without buying scanner hardware.

Q: What does it cost?

Every account starts with 3 free scans. After that you pay only for the scans you use; failed scans are not charged.

Q: What is SWAYA?

SWAYA is the ScanSoles brand for custom-made comfort insoles in Switzerland. Patients complete a detailed app-based assessment and a 3D foot scan at a selected partner practice; the insoles are manufactured in Switzerland and delivered to their door.

ScanSoles Data turns any smartphone into a validated 3D foot scanner for your business. SWAYA turns that same scan into made-to-measure comfort insoles — manufactured in Switzerland and delivered to the patient's door.

Why ScanSoles

The same validated technology underpins both products.

Clinically validated

Published accuracy study against a lab laser scanner and expert calipers — inside the ISO 20685 2 mm threshold, and more consistent than manual caliper measurement on 5 of 6 metrics.

Any smartphone

No proprietary foot scanner hardware: the ScanSoles Data app runs on iPhone and Android. Three photos per foot over an A4 calibration sheet is all it takes.

Built with orthopaedic experts

Developed together with orthopaedic experts. ScanSoles AG, Zürich.
