TAMPA, Fla. – As the fall weather brings cooler temperatures, an innovative new orthotics company
based in Tampa is helping runners from across the country prepare for marathon season, all from the
comfort of their homes.

MediScan Custom Orthotics produces medical-grade custom orthotics for patients through the
company’s proprietary mobile application, which allows users to scan their feet at home, and have the
custom orthotics delivered to their doorstep.

After the user scans their feet, they are linked directly to a podiatrist through a telehealth portal. The podiatrist evaluates the scans and ensures that perfectly made custom orthotics are delivered to the customer without ever having to step foot inside a doctor’s office.

The technology puts MediScan leaps and bounds ahead of podiatrists nationwide, who require weeks-long waiting periods just to see patients, and even longer waiting periods for their orthotics to be made.

Dr. Bret Brennan, a podiatrist and co-founder of MediScan, says the precision of the application's
scanning technology, the speed of production and delivery of the product are perfect for marathoners
looking to make the most out of peak running season.

“If you have pain coming into the marathon season and you don’t want to be sidelined for months due
to foot, knee, hip or back issues, MediScan is the solution for you,” Brennan said. “Likewise, if you’re in the middle of your running season and you begin to feel pain, you can discuss that pain with a podiatrist through the MediScan app as soon as it sets in, and we can work to help get you back on as soon as possible.”

Brennan also says that runners don’t have to sacrifice quality for speed of production.

“MediScan’s app is designed to scan and understand the precise contours of your feet, and our
telehealth meetings with podiatrists will help you immediately understand why you’re feeling pain,”
Brennan said. “That combination of precision and consultation ensures that you receive the exact
custom orthotics that you need, and that you receive them in an industry-leading period of time.”
