## Abstract

A method for generating an orthotic device is disclosed. The method includes receiving data from a client device of a patient, the data comprising patient information and image data representative of a body part of the patient. The method further includes generating, based on the image data, three-dimensional model data representative of the body part.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of characterizing a foot of an individual, the method comprising:
causing a display device of a mobile device to display live video captured by a camera of the mobile device;
causing the display device to display one or more visual indicators overlaid on the live video to guide image capture of the foot in different orientations;
capturing, by the camera, a plurality of images of the foot in the different orientations, wherein a visual appearance of the one or more visual indicators is adjusted and haptic feedback is generated by the mobile device to facilitate capture of the plurality of images in the different orientations;
computing, or transmitting the plurality of images to a server for computing, a data set corresponding to a three-dimensional representation of the foot, the data set to be computed at least partially from the plurality of images of the foot in the different orientations; and
causing the display device to display information or data relevant to the foot or associated with the three-dimensional representation of the foot.
