Structured preventative foot-health screening support for elderly-care environments.

PodAI Health Mobility UK is being developed to support care homes and elderly-care providers through mobile foot-health screening programmes.

The goal is to help care providers improve access to preventative screening, support resident wellbeing and identify potential foot-health concerns earlier.


Why Care Homes Need This Support

Care-home residents may be more vulnerable to foot-health concerns due to age, reduced mobility, diabetes risk, circulation issues or limited ability to attend external appointments.

Care homes may also face challenges such as:

  • Coordinating external appointments
  • Monitoring multiple residents
  • Communicating concerns to families
  • Keeping clear screening records
  • Identifying issues early enough for referral
  • Managing residents with mobility limitations

PodAI’s care-home screening model is designed to bring structured support directly into the care-home environment.


What the Programme May Include

A Care-Home Screening Programme may include:

  • Scheduled mobile screening visits
  • Screening for selected residents
  • AI-assisted reporting support
  • Resident screening summaries
  • Communication with authorised family members
  • Care-home management reports
  • Referral guidance where further review may be needed
  • Periodic follow-up screening plans

The programme may be structured as a one-off pilot, recurring service or partnership arrangement.

4. Reporting and Communication

Reports may be prepared for residents, authorised family members and care-home records.
