GENESIS

OF NUKIX

After years in clinical practice, Shaffin saw a painful truth: most children's foot problems are caught far too late. Parents didn't know what to look for, and interventions came when damage had already set in. That's why NUKIX was created. By turning proven diagnostics into accessible AI tools, we give families the power to track growth, spot concerns early, and act before problems take root. This isn't a trend—it's a necessity born from experience.
