Footysan
Smart foot-cleaning system
An automated and ergonomic hygiene device
Developed for a French wellness-sector startup, Footysan is an innovative automatic foot washing and drying appliance. Designed for boats, pools, spas and rehabilitation centres, it combines hygiene, comfort and accessibility.
The challenge: design a complete system that is waterproof, safe and self-contained, integrating mechanics, electronics and fluid handling, while remaining intuitive for every user.
Our technical approach
An end-to-end development: design, prototyping and validation of a complete fluid-mechatronic system.
Mechanics & fluid handling
Robust design that is easy to maintain.
- + Waterproof architecture in injected plastic and aluminium
- + Adjustable nozzle system for even diffusion
- + Controlled handling of water and compressed air
- + Collection tray with built-in filtration
Electronics & automatic control
A smart and secure cycle.
- + Infrared sensors for automatic presence detection
- + Microcontroller driving solenoid valves and heaters
- + Built-in safeties against overheating and overpressure
- + Simple user interface: contactless start-up
Tests & validation
Functional trials and user validation.
- + Water resistance testing (IPX5)
- + Energy and electrical safety validation
- + Durability and comfort-of-use trials
- + Functional prototype validated in real conditions
Results & impact
The Footysan system proved the feasibility of a self-contained hygiene device that is easy to use and compliant with accessibility standards. Its modular design opens the way to variants for spas, public pools and medical applications.
Status: validated prototype — industrialisation in progress
