SeeSpine
SeeSpine is a telehealth application leveraging 3D imaging and artificial intelligence for scoliosis. SeeSpine allows patients and physicians to screen for scoliosis and monitor progression remotely. From a simple 15-second video taken on any smartphone, SeeSpine reconstructs a model of the torso to quantify asymmetries and predict curve progression. SeeSpine鈥檚 radiation-free technology allows for frequent observations to decrease scoliosis progression and the associated breast cancer risks.
