Abstract

FISICA is a body-assessment and recommendation service running in production. One standing session with two photographs returns foot-loading measures, posture coordinates, a driven 3D avatar, a visual report, and ranked shoe and exercise candidates. Measurement comes from a purpose-built scale carrying 634 force-sensitive elements on a 1 cm grid and four load cells, and a rule-based evaluator controls every recommendation while a language model only explains the stored result. The method contribution is the avatar. Instead of mapping a measured angle onto a rig through a tuned gain, we measure the avatar with the same function used on the subject and solve until the two agree, on a sampling-invariant spinal metric that separated a normal from a kyphotic record by 7.2 degrees against 0.9 degrees for a single-joint formulation. In production, general APIs respond at a 0.023 s median, plantar-pressure analysis at 0.45 s, and recommendation at 2.16 s to 2.26 s with the rule-based portion under one second in every trial. The served keypoint graph reaches 0.960 [email protected] on public data, and the catalog holds 699 shoes with 10,500 typed facts. An approved study supplies the radiographic reference for the validation still ahead.
