emed Systems

emed^® pedography platforms are accurate electronic systems for recording and evaluating pressure  distribution under the foot in static and dynamic conditions. The system starts recording automatically when the subject's foot contacts the platform. All platforms operate with calibrated capacitive sensors and are certified medical products.

The emed^® system is used for barefoot measurements, to analyse the dynamic foot function. Measuring barefoot gives a pressure picture of the foot without the influence of shoes. This way it can be used for diagnosis.

The platforms are available in different dimensions, resolutions, frequencies and synchronization options. Please find below the technical specifications of the various emed^® pedography platforms. Please also have a look at the different levels of emed measuring software.
