PODO.APP RESEARCH · PROPOSED ACCESS PROGRAM
Foot health data.
New possibilities for research.
We are exploring a controlled research program to help qualified institutions study foot morphology, mobility, gait and related clinical observations using carefully prepared datasets.
Research access is under development. No patient-level data, download or paid subscription is currently available through this page.
POTENTIAL RESEARCH FIELDS
Designed around the measurements researchers actually use.
Subject to data quality review, sufficient observations, lawful reuse and appropriate anonymisation, the following types of measurements may be suitable.
Functional observations
Mobility, balance, gait and structured performance scores, with transparent data provenance and missingness.
Clinical patterns
Professionally entered findings and aggregated foot health indicators, with clear definitions and methodological limitations.

ACCESS MODEL
A controlled research workspace, not an unrestricted database download.
Our proposed approach prioritises privacy, accountable research and useful analysis.
01
Apply
Describe your institution, study purpose and required variables.
02
Review
Evaluate legal basis, permissions, anonymisation and research safeguards.
03
Access
Work only with the approved fields in a time-limited controlled environment.
04
Export
Export permitted aggregate analyses after disclosure checks, subject to approval.
RESEARCH LICENSING
Access suited to the research question.
We envisage project-based and institutional access after eligibility and governance review; we are not selling access to identifiable medical records or raw photographs.
Aggregated insights
Privacy-reviewed charts, distributions and cohort-level statistics. A sensible starting point for feasibility studies.
Approved workspace
Potential access to a minimised research dataset inside a controlled environment, following an appropriate review.
Institutional collaboration
Tailored research support, data documentation and project-specific terms for universities and organisations.
Important privacy and governance note. Podo.app holds sensitive health-related information. Data submitted on behalf of a healthcare provider may be controlled by that provider. Any secondary research use, anonymisation and onward provision must first be assessed for legal authority, transparency, contractual permissions, re-identification risk and appropriate safeguards. Identifiable media are not offered for access. This is a proposal, not an announcement of a currently available dataset.
