## What is footing?

Footing measures how you walk and how you think, using the phone you already carry. No wearable required. No blood draw. No clinic visit.

A 30-second walk and four short tests build your Gait Signature: one picture of your mobility and your thinking, tracked over time. Free to use. No subscription required to start.

Find your footing.

WHAT IT MEASURES

Your Gait Signature combines two signatures, each with six dimensions.

Mobility Signature, from your walk:
Pace: your walking speed, normalized
Stride: your step length relative to your height
Steadiness: how consistent your strides are
Symmetry: the balance between left and right steps
Turn: how quickly you turn around
Efficiency: how regular your vertical movement is while you walk

Cognitive Signature, from four short tests (symbol match, typing burst, sequence recall, tap rhythm):
Reaction: how quickly you respond
Precision: how accurately you respond
Attention: how consistent your response time is
Memory: how long a sequence you can recall
Timing: how steady your tap rhythm is
Fluency: how quickly you type in a short burst

The two signatures produce two scores, Mobility IQ and Cognitive IQ, each from 0 to 100. Once enough people of your age band and sex have joined, you also see a percentile against that group. Every score comes with an error range, so small changes are not overstated.

HOW IT WORKS

Guided walk. Put your phone in your pocket and walk for about 30 seconds. Start it in the app whenever you want. There is no fixed schedule.

Cognitive tests. Four short tasks, also on demand. Your first three attempts at each test count as warm-up and are not scored.

Daily walking. If you allow health access, footing reads one daily walking summary from Apple Health: walking speed, step length, asymmetry, double support, steps, and distance. Apple Health derives these from your iPhone. Collection starts when you join and covers the previous 24 hours each day.

Apple Watch. The optional Apple Watch app captures arm swing during the guided walk.

Results arrive within seconds of each upload. See them in the app or on the web at app.footinghealth.com, and invite a family member or clinician to see them.

Sign in with Apple, Google, a passkey, or a code sent to your email.

RESEARCH

You can choose to contribute your measurements to research. It is opt-in only. You grant consent in Settings and can withdraw it there at any time. Without that consent, nothing goes to research.

If you opt in, the data is de-identified. No name, email, or device. Dates are shifted. You are described only by age in years, sex, and broad height and weight bands. Only computed measurements are shared, never recordings.

WHY IT MATTERS

Walking speed has been called the sixth vital sign. Mobility and thinking tend to change gradually, which makes the changes easy to miss. A short, repeatable measurement shows where you stand today and how that compares with your own history.

YOUR DATA

Your walk recordings are stored on our servers, encrypted, so your results can be rescored as our scoring improves. To request deletion of your data, email hello@footinghealth.com.

You must be 18 or older to use footing.

### 5/5 — Great information

*2026-07-25*

The app gave me some great information about my gait. I shared the results with my physical therapist and have some exercises to work on to correct my issue. I’ve been having a lot of lower back pain and we couldn’t figure out the issue. Since I shared my gait info with my physical therapist and got some new exercises, my back pain has started to go away. Highly recommend!

### 1.3 — 2026-09-12

• Sign in with Google, alongside Apple, passkeys and email codes.
• A short first-run setup: your name, a few optional details, and your research choice, so results are in context from day one.
• You stay signed in. The app restores your session instead of asking you to log in again.
• Twelve dimensions, six for mobility and six for cognition, each with a percentile against people your age and sex and an honest error range.
• Cognitive tests now produce their own Base, Signature and IQ reports, matching the mobility ones.
• If the app is not getting your daily walking data, it tells you and shows you where to turn health access on.
• A birth year replaces the age band, so your comparison group stays right as time passes.
• New launch screen and small fixes throughout.

### 1.2 — 2026-08-06

Here’s a shorter App Store-ready version:

### What's New in 1.2
