Footysan

Intelligent Foot Cleaning System

Footysan device

An automated and ergonomic hygiene system

Developed for a French wellness startup, Footysan is an innovative device for the automatic cleaning and drying of feet. Designed for boats, pools, spas, and rehabilitation centers, it combines hygiene, comfort, and accessibility.

The challenge: to design a fully sealed, safe, and autonomous system integrating mechanics, electronics, and fluid management — all within an intuitive and user-friendly product.

Our technical approach

A full-cycle development: design, prototyping, and validation of a complete fluid-mechatronic system.
