Digital Monitoring & Apps—Tracking Scoliosis from Home
Technology now allows much of scoliosis monitoring to happen between clinic visits. Used wisely, apps and digital tools can enhance, not replace, expert care.
Types of Tools
Dorsi supports use of:
- Brace wear‑time trackers.
- Symptom and activity logging apps.
- Secure photo and video uploads for remote review.
Benefits
Digital monitoring can:
- Improve adherence by providing feedback and reminders.
- Allow earlier detection of problems or non‑tolerance.
- Reduce unnecessary clinic visits while keeping clinicians informed.
Dorsi’s Integration
We integrate digital data into appointments, treating it as an extension of the curve diary and adjusting plans based on real‑world use and symptoms.
Next Steps
If you like using technology to stay on top of health, Dorsi Spinal Institute can recommend suitable tools and show you how to share data safely and meaningfully.
