What it is Filled

The terminal part of the leg on which a human or other vertebrate stands and walks, in humans comprising the ankle, heel, arch, sole and toes with twenty-six bones, and in other vertebrates ranging from hooves and paws to webbed feet of waterfowl; feet bear weight, enable movement and are subject to injury, disease and footwear effects, and animal feet are also used as food.

Why it exists Filled

Let an agent explain foot anatomy and function, route foot problems to care, describe footwear and foot health guidance, and cover animal feet and culinary uses.

Distinguishing features Filled

  • Weight-bearing
  • Complex skeleton
  • Variable across animals
  • Footwear interaction

What robots and AI may and may not do Filled

Must not

  • Diagnose a foot injury, ulcer or deformity in a person.
  • Recommend footwear or treatment as a substitute for clinical care of a foot wound.
  • Share images of a person's feet without consent.
  • Advise on hoof or paw treatment without a vet where the animal is lame or injured.

Only with a human decision

  • Any treatment decision for a foot ulcer, fracture or infection.

May

  • Explain the anatomy of the human or animal foot from reliable sources.
  • Remind people with diabetes to have foot problems checked by a clinician.

Moral aspects Filled

  • Untreated foot ulcers in diabetes can lead to amputation.
  • Animals with foot problems suffer and often go unnoticed.

Who is affected

  • Patients
  • Animals
  • Carers

Owners Filled
