Forefoot surgeries such as hallux valgus correction are among the most common orthopaedic procedures. Yet key biomechanical factors like first-ray mobility are still assessed using subjective manual tests and static imaging, leading to inconsistent diagnoses and surgical strategies. As a result, one in three patients remains dissatisfied after surgery, often due to persistent pain or recurrence. RayStore is a medical device and software platform that objectively quantifies forefoot instability using proprietary mechatronics and sensing. Developed by a multidisciplinary team of clinicians and engineers from a Geneva clinic and HEPIA, the solution targets over 40,000 orthopaedic centres worldwide, representing a market of approximately CHF 433M in hardware and CHF 43M in recurring revenues.
