Preventative foot-health screening delivered closer to the people who need it most.

PodAI Health Mobility UK is being developed to provide mobile foot-health screening support for elderly, diabetic-risk and mobility-limited patients who may face difficulty attending traditional clinic appointments.

Through a mobile-first care model, PodAI aims to bring suitable foot-health screening services to care homes, private residences and community-based settings. The service is designed to support early awareness, improve accessibility and encourage timely referral where further clinical review may be required.


Why This Service Matters

Foot-health concerns can become more serious when early warning signs are missed or care is delayed. Elderly individuals, patients with diabetic risk factors and people with reduced mobility often require regular observation, preventative screening and better communication with healthcare providers.

However, many patients experience barriers such as:

  • Difficulty travelling to clinics
  • Limited access to regular foot checks
  • Delayed identification of potential concerns
  • Lack of structured reporting for families and carers
  • Increased risk of avoidable complications

PodAI’s mobile screening model is designed to reduce these barriers by taking preventative foot-health support directly to the patient’s location.


What the Service Includes

The proposed Mobile Foot-Health Screening service may include:

  • Initial foot-health observation
  • Use of suitable diagnostic or screening devices
  • AI-assisted support for structured risk reporting
  • Basic assessment of visible foot-health indicators
  • Recording of relevant screening information
  • Report generation for authorised recipients
  • Guidance on whether further professional review may be required

The service is intended to support screening, early awareness and care coordination. It is not a substitute for full medical diagnosis, emergency care or specialist treatment.

5. Report Sharing
