Scoliosis Brace Design
The mathematical model and interface plan for a scoliosis brace are written; the code side is in development. It is not offered as a sellable brace module until a clinical partner validates it. For now it is open only as co-development and a waitlist.
Key Features
- Torso scan import and alignment
- Clinical deformity assessment
- Target correction scenario
- Relief area opening
- Brace form and edge line
- STL export after clinician approval

The clinical problem it targets
In adolescent idiopathic scoliosis the brace is worn for 16 to 23 hours a day; fit and patient compliance are the treatment. In the traditional flow the patient is suspended or tractioned in a frame to take a plaster negative. Plaster weight, the time the session takes and correcting the negative by hand are physically demanding for both patient and orthotist.
The module targets moving that process to a contactless scan and a parametric design model. The mathematical core and UI design are finished; the code is in development. We do not sell this module before clinical validation is complete.
The planned workflow
The planned flow starts with a torso scan: the patient is scanned standing with arms supported and the model is aligned to the vertical axis. Torso asymmetry and shoulder and pelvis level differences are derived from the scan; these do not replace radiographic measurement, they are read alongside it.
In the second stage a correction scenario is built: where pressure is applied, which relief area opens on the opposite side and how high the brace runs. That part of the design is entirely a clinical decision — the module's aim is not to automate it but to record its result as a measurable geometry.
In the third stage the brace form and edge lines are built and, after clinician approval, a production file is exported. The intended output is STL; CNC mold production for a thermoforming line will be assessed as a separate route.
What you can do today
Clinics with scoliosis case volume that want to work with us on validation can join the waitlist. Co-development means the clinic measures with its own protocol and the module is shaped around that protocol.
The lines ready for production today are the cranial helmet, prosthetic socket and hand splint modules, while AFO and insole modules are undergoing field validation in pilot clinics; building the clinic's digital scanning habit on those while scoliosis matures is the most realistic route.
