Simple, Easy to use App

Our enhanced app embodies simplicity at its core, ensuring an effortless and user-friendly experience for seamless integration into your daily clinical routine.


Streamlined Scanning

Enjoy improved scanning functionality that simplifies data capture and enhances efficiency, allowing you to focus more on what matters - your patients.


Intuitive User Experience

The updated app boasts an intuitive interface, intuitively designed to enhance usability and minimize any learning curve, allowing you to leverage its full potential right from the start


Be sure to Update your iPad app today to start using the new and improved version!


Structure sent an email to current customers regarding an issue with USB-C iPads running iOS 17.x.  To avoid any issues with scanning, Structure recommends all users with a USB-C iPad take the following actions:

  • Do not update your iPad to the new iOS 17.x release which will be available tomorrow, September 12, 2023.
  • Turn off automatic updates until they have resolved the update. To turn off automatic updates, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Automatic Updates.

We expect Structure and Apple to resolve this issue promptly. The Arize support team is always here to assist you with any issues you may have.


Now Available in the Arize App

We are thrilled to introduce two additions to our range of orthotics that align with your mission to deliver superior care.

The non-correcting accommodative style is designed to offer cushioning and support, enhancing patient comfort and alleviating discomfort.

The A5514 approved custom diabetic style offers the high-quality support your patients need, delivered quickly and predictably.

You can start placing orders for these new orthotic styles in our clinical app today. For the currently available top cover and modification options, please contact your account manager.


Update to Return Process

We have initiated immediate changes to improve the return process. We expect these changes to improve communications with our customers and increase the turn around time of return orders.

Starting immediately, all returns will come back to our San Diego site where our product specialist will quickly review and implement returns. Any returns currently en route to the original address will be forwarded on to the San Diego site.

In addition to the change of address we have made several changes to the form to simplify and clarify the instructions. Please begin using the new Arize Return Form to reduce any processing delays.


Arize Scanning App Update

Please update your Arize scanning app, available on the app store.

To improve the scanning process in the presence of an error, we have improved the Arize Smart Detect technology to quickly determine if the scan is missing critical data. If this scan is unusable an error message will appear, asking you to rescan. Please update your app to take advantage of this improved feature.

Spanish Break-In Instructions Now Available

Spanish break-in instructions are now available! Please download from our forms section for your Spanish speaking patients. All orders will continue to be shipped with English break-in instructions. Please reach out to your account manager if you have any questions.


Scanning Help

All scans must have the following landmarks detected to be submitted: 1st and 5th MPJ, Apex of the arch, Back of Heel, Medial Heel at the Widest Point and Lateral Heel at the widest point. A poor scan or foot deformities can cause the software to not properly detect these landmarks. We've added a Smart Detect feature to provide you an alert if the scan seems inaccurate, is missing necessary data, or needs to be reviewed and/or rescanned.

  • “We are not able to accurately detect the following anatomical markers”
    • This message will appear when the software can identify the markers but they do not appear to be in the correct location. We recommend reviewing the scan to decide whether you should rescan or submit as is.
  • “We are not able to detect the following anatomical markers”
    • This message will appear when the software cannot detect one or more anatomical markers on the foot scan. This can be caused by not accurately capturing all necessary foot contour. You will be required to rescan this foot.

Upload Retries

WiFi speeds can be unreliable at times which can cause delays in transferring order data from your scanning device to the Arize cloud. We have updated our app to try multiple times to upload the data before showing an error message. If after those attempts the software is still unable to upload the order data then you will receive the following error message:

  • Could not upload scan
  • Sorry, something went wrong while uploading the scan. Please try again later.

When you see this error message, then we recommend you do the following:

  1. Please do not close the app or logout. The scan data will be lost and you will have to scan your patient again
  2. Take the iPad into a room with good WiFi signal.
  3. Touch the Next button and the app will try uploading the order data again

Improved Scan Contrast

Based on user feedback we have improved the contrast of the scan image in the review screen.


We recently updated the Patient entry page, changing the First Name and Last Name fields to Line 1 and Line 2. This change allows you to enter your preferred patient identification information. ​​

With our latest release these two fields will now print on separate lines of the orthotics. You have 25 characters per line. ​​

Here are examples of how you can use these new options depending on your preference. ​​

  • For those of you who still input first name and last name in Lines 1 and Lines 2, respectively, then the name will be printed as follows:
    • John
    • Smith
    • Order # - L/R
  • For those of you who want to enter patient name on Line 1 and clinic name on Line 2, it will be printed on the orthotic like this:
    • John Smith
    • ABC Podiatry
    • Order# - L/R

See how these changes will appear on the clinical app and orthotics here.​ ​​

We have just released an update to our Structure app. With this release comes an important fix that will reduce many of the crashes issues you are experiencing. This should improve your overall experience with the app and reduce interruptions in your patient flow.

New Scanning App Name

For those of you with automatic updates you may already have noticed that the name of the app was changed to “Mobile Orthoses Lab”. Those of you who manually update your software will see this change once you’ve completed the update.

Troubleshooting for Portrait mode

We have identified two minor issues that you should be aware of when using the app in portrait mode on an iPad.

  1. Entering a patient's weight
  2. Entering two different shoe sizes

If you experience any issues with inputting the above information, turn your iPad in landscape mode to use the fields.

These issues are infrequent and will not affect your ability to submit an order. We expect to have these fixed in our next release coming in early November.


Orthotic Styles Page Refresh

The Orthotic Style Page now includes your personalized prescription preferences. Quickly view settings for each style and easily select your preferences immediately after scanning.

Learn about the feature by downloading our guide here.

Foam Box Issues

Foam box crash issues have been fixed. If you are using foam boxes, we recommend Surefit pink foam. However, the solution is compatible with blue and green foams as well.

If using a 3D Laser Scanner, the foot imprint must be perfectly centered in the foam box for the scanner to generate an accurate capture.

Occipital App

When scanning your patient's foot, please make sure to not move the iPad if you see the message 'Please hold still so we can capture a keyframe.' Moving the scanner while this message appears will cause the application to crash.

Order Tracking

You can only view the order status on the Order tab page. Go the Patient page, click on the Order tab and look for one of the following status updates:

  • Processing – The order has been submitted and is being reviewed by an Arize Technician for order completeness.
  • Fabricating – The order is now in fabrication, which includes being 3D printed and having top cover and accommodations applied.
  • Shipped – The order is on its way back to you
  • Canceled – The order has been cancelled
  • Complete – The order has delivered.

Using the Prescription Preference feature, accessible through the Home screen, create your own styles that you can save and apply to your patient prescriptions at any time.

Learn how to use this new feature with our step-by-step guide

Refurbishment Switch Program

For your patients in need of an orthotic refurbishment from another lab, we will make them a new Arize orthotic for $65. There is no need to send the other labs orthotic back to us. For more details, or to take advantage of this program, contact your Arize account manager or call our Customer Service department. Some limitations apply.

Foam Box Scanning

With the Arize 3D Laser Foot Scanner you can now scan foam boxes. Access the instructions here.

Occipital integration with clinical app

No more switching to multiple apps to scan a patient’s foot or foam box. Using the Arize scan app you can transition quickly from the scanning app directly to the clinical app. From the scanning app you transition to the clinical app and continue with the same patient for a more continuous experience.



Learn about the latest design improvements, new Clinical App features, and the ability to scan your foam boxes.

Orthotic Design Improvements

  1. Distal Edge Tapering: The distal edge will now taper to 1.5mm across all devices, and the center of the heel seat will also be 1.5mm to reduce device thickness. This change will not impact the rigidity you select.
  2. Flexible Reverse Morton’s: The Flexible Reverse Morton’s Extension design has been updated to improve both durability and flexibility.

Top covers available!

We made updates and changes to our top cover menu.

New: Plastazote 1/8”

Plastazote 1/8”

This is the standard medium-density Plastazote, with 15 Shore A Durometer that is commonly used for DME products.
Available as Plastazote Black 1/8”


BambooLon

The BambooLon has been discontinued due to poor performance and feedback. However, we will maintain a small inventory of BambooLon in order to fulfill remakes and reorders. If you have a patient that would like a reorder with the same top cover, make a request in the Notes section to “Use Bamboolon top cover”. We will not fulfill new patient orders with the BambooLon material, only remakes and reorders.


Neolon (formerly Spenco)

Updated to reflect the correct brand name of the neolon foam used, but is the same Spenco-like top cover we have been using. Due to the soft nature of Neolon foam all orthotics made with this material come with black microsuede bottom cover. If you do not want the bottom cover then use the Notes feature in the Arize app and request “No bottom cover”.

Available as:

  • Neolon Black 1/16” with bottom cover
  • Neolon 1/8” Black with bottom cover

Poly U with Vinyl cover

Updated to reflect the correct brand name of the polyurethane foam. If you want a more rigid top cover then you can request to add scrim, a thin netting that doesn’t add bulk but adds stiffness. To make that request, use the notes features and request “Add scrim”. Morton’s Extension and Reverse should not use scrim because of glue/cosmetic reason.

Available as:

  • Poly-U w/Black vinyl cover 1/16”
  • Poly-U w/Black vinyl cover 1/8”
