Future of Scoliosis Care—Research, Tech & AI
Scoliosis care is evolving rapidly. Advances in imaging, bracing, surgery, and data science are changing how curves are detected, predicted, and treated. Dorsi Spinal Institute keeps patients connected to this innovation.
Imaging & 3D Modelling
New tools provide:
- Lower‑dose, higher‑detail imaging.
- 3D spine and torso models for precise bracing and surgery planning.
- Better tracking of subtle changes over time.
Smart Bracing & Wearables
Emerging technologies include:
- Braces with pressure or wear‑time sensors.
- Wearables that monitor posture or activity.
- Apps that give real‑time feedback to patients and clinicians.
AI & Data‑Driven Care
Artificial intelligence and big data are being used to:
- Predict progression risk more accurately.
- Personalise treatment plans.
- Identify which patients are most likely to benefit from certain therapies.
Dorsi’s Role
Dorsi participates in and monitors research, adopting clinically proven innovations and discarding hype. Patients benefit from cutting‑edge methods delivered within safe, evidence‑based frameworks.
Next Steps
