Pioneering Precision Health: WHIS Memberships Announces Strategic Partnership with FootSnap and 4D4ALL Lab

The World Health Innovation Summit (WHIS) is pleased to announce a strategic partnership under the WHIS Memberships framework alongside Vincent W. Piselé (FootSnap) and Sofia Scataglini (4D4ALL Lab). This collaboration aims to drive scalable health innovations, translate research into real-world application, and strengthen global networks for precision health.


Breakthrough 4D Scanning Technology & CHAT At the center of this initiative is the state-of-the-art 4D4ALL Lab, featuring a high-precision 4D body scanner. By capturing 3D human body shapes across time—the 4th dimension—the lab offers a unique capability in Europe and globally. This technology forms the core of CHAT, a 4D center of expertise focused on dynamic models of the human body. CHAT leverages proven expertise in digital human modeling to advance personalized and precision medicine, health, and well-being.


Key Pillars of the Vision Our joint vision is built on four strategic objectives:

  • Understand & Personalise: Advance 4D human modelling through dynamic technologies, representative datasets, and personalised solutions.
  • Predict & Prevent: Apply data-driven, evidence-based approaches to anticipate risks and promote health, well-being, and inclusion.
  • Transform: Develop scalable, sustainable technologies and innovations with measurable societal and industrial impact.
  • Internationalise, Connect & Promote: Strengthen global research networks and strategic partnerships, connecting international stakeholders with local ecosystems through multidisciplinary collaboration, knowledge exchange, and research translation.

Leadership Perspectives

Gareth Presch, Founder & CEO of WHIS: “Through our WHIS Memberships model, we are dedicated to supporting strategic partners who share our commitment to sustainable health innovation. Working alongside Sofia and Vincent allows us to combine world-leading 4D technology with strategic positioning to deliver measurable societal and industrial impact globally.”

Sofia Scataglini, 4D4ALL Lab & CHAT: “The 4D4ALL lab represents a unique capability in capturing high-precision 3D human body shapes over time. As the foundation of CHAT, our goal is to utilize dynamical models for personalized and precision health. Partnering with WHIS will help us connect our multidisciplinary research with international stakeholders and local ecosystems.”

Vincent W. Piselé, FootSnap: “Collaborating with WHIS and the 4D4ALL Lab aligns scalable technology with personalized healthcare solutions. Together, we are bridging cutting-edge digital modeling with practical application to improve health outcomes and promote cross-network engagement.”
