Foot ID uses your iPhone's system of sensors, cameras, and a dot projector to create a detailed 3D scan of your patient's foot & ankle and order custom orthoses with incredible accuracy and speed. Automatically upload your patient's 3D scans, manage and upload photos and videos of your patient and submit orders to KevinRoot Medical. The TrueDepth camera system will detect your patient's foot and lower extremity with a flood illuminator. An infrared camera will then take an image, and a dot projector will project out over 30,000 invisible infrared dots. This system uses the infrared image and the infrared dots, and pushes them through neural networks to create a mathematical model of your patient's foot and lower extremity. FootID app will push your patient's data and 3D scans directly to KevinRoot Medical via secure and HIPAA compliant transmission. With the largest selection of clinical solutions for your patients including orthoses, AFOs, Richie Braces, shoes with rapid turn around, Root Lab Technology, highest quality CAD CAM your patients will receive extraordinary outcomes. A full portfolio of clinical products for your patient are online at www.kevinrootmedical.com More on how the 3D system works: A Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) time of flight sensor initiates the process, measuring the distance from phone to foot and lower leg to determine exposure times for the other sensors. As you wave the phone over your patient, the foot and leg is flooded with infrared light before a separate array is used to project a dot matrix onto the foot and leg and a combination of infrared and visible imaging system sensors then maps out the dots to create a true and accurate 3D scan.

This 3D scanner is developed especially for foot measures. Capture the 3D profile of your or your patient's feet. The exported STL-Files can be read by all 3D processing programs. pedcad offers a special workflow for easy access to 3D-printed insoles designed in Germany or optionally at one of our partners around the world. The app allows you to preview the foot scans before you submit your scans. The app asks permission to use your camera (front-facing). When you allow the app to use the camera, the permission to use the depth-sensing camera is also provided. The app does not store, collect, or transfer any picture or video data out of your phone. Instead, the app generates and uploads a 3D model of your feet (in the form of point clouds) to our servers when you initiate such an upload explicitly.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Foot ID at every 3 weeks against ped3D mobile's every 5 weeks. Foot ID also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
