ScoliosisApp
Guided posterior-surface capture for research and professional reviewScoliosisAppPro helps qualified users capture and inspect a bounded 3D
posterior-surface mesh on supported Apple and Android hardware. It presents
geometry-derived technical indicators for research, education,
not a diagnosis and not a radiographic Cobb measurement.
ScoliosisAppPro turns posterior-surface captures into interactive 3D views and structured asymmetry information for research and professional review. Use a guided capture workflow on iPhone, explore the generated surface from different viewpoints on Apple Vision Pro, and export visual and quantitative records for documentation and further analysis.
WHY IT IS USEFUL
External trunk geometry can be difficult to understand from a single flat image. ScoliosisAppPro brings capture, 3D visualization, surface analysis, and export into one connected workflow. It offers a clearer way to examine posterior-surface shape, review surface-derived outputs, and support informed professional or research discussion.
A DISTINCTIVE, TRANSPARENT APPROACH
The documented research pipeline analyzes a 3D posterior-surface mesh with principal component analysis. It combines three geometric asymmetry measures - point-distance, projected-area, and volume-like components - into a weighted composite index. The method is mathematically explicit, making its assumptions and outputs available for methodological evaluation. FEATURES - Guided posterior-surface capture on iPhone - Interactive 3D visualization on Apple Vision Pro - Multiple viewpoints for spatial review - Structured surface-asymmetry outputs - Technical quality and measurement context - Exportable 3D models, measurements, and reports - No account required
EVIDENCE STATUS Product-specific research described in a submission-assembled manuscript draft reports internal methodological evaluation in 31 observations, including leave-one-out analysis. The work is preliminary, unpublished, and not an independent clinical validation. It does not establish diagnostic accuracy, screening performance, treatment-response measurement, longitudinal monitoring, or equivalence to radiographs.
IMPORTANT MEDICAL INFORMATION ScoliosisAppPro provides posterior-surface visualization and investigational outputs. It does not establish or exclude a diagnosis and is not a substitute for clinical examination, radiographic assessment, or independent professional judgment. Outputs may be inaccurate, incomplete, or affected by capture quality, and they can miss or falsely suggest findings. Do not make or change medical decisions based solely on the app. Consult a qualified healthcare professional for assessment and treatment. The app is not for emergencies; contact local emergency services when urgent help is needed.
ScoliosisAppPro is an Orthopractis application for trained healthcare professionals, researchers and appropriately qualified users who need a structured posterior-trunk surface workflow.
The app guides the operator through a shoulder-to-hip capture region, supports measured 3D surface construction on compatible hardware and provides tools for reviewing the protected mesh before analysis or export.
WORKFLOW
• Position the posterior trunk and keep both shoulders and hips visible.
• Review and lock a symmetric shoulder-to-hip scan volume.
• Follow measured surface growth inside the protected region.
• Review technical quality information before using any result.
• Save, share or export supported reports and mesh formats when available in the selected platform build.
MEASUREMENT AND RESEARCH TOOLS
Depending on the platform and supported hardware, ScoliosisAppPro may include posterior-surface asymmetry components, AIglobal, OSAI-R, dOSAI, Projected Cobb and Candidate Cobb research-support estimates, QCI-1 technical quality controls, external mesh import, PCA-based alignment and user-controlled mesh export.
IMPORTANT
ScoliosisAppPro does not diagnose scoliosis and does not replace clinical examination, radiographs, radiographic Cobb-angle measurement or specialist judgment. Projected or Candidate Cobb outputs are surface-derived research-support estimates, not radiographic measurements. Quality-control values describe acquisition and mesh suitability; they are not diagnostic confidence.
ScoliosisAppPro combines guided capture, on-device pose-assisted setup,
technical mesh review, and operator-controlled export. Compatible devices may
use RGB/RGB-D or ARCore depth workflows, depending on platform and hardware.
The app is designed to make the acquisition and review process explicit: set
up the subject, check capture quality, inspect the surface, and decide whether
to save or share the result.

Questions and answers
What does ScoliosisAppPro do?
It supports guided capture, 3D posterior-surface visualization, structured surface-derived asymmetry analysis, and export for research and professional review.
Why use a 3D view?
External trunk shape contains depth and spatial relationships that can be difficult to understand from a single flat image. An explorable 3D representation provides additional viewpoints for structured review.
Does it diagnose or rule out scoliosis?
No. The app provides posterior-surface visualization and investigational outputs. It cannot establish or exclude a diagnosis.
Does it replace an X-ray or a clinician?
No. It is not a substitute for clinical examination, radiographic assessment, or independent professional judgment.
Has the method been clinically validated?
Not on the evidence supplied. A manuscript draft reports internal evaluation in 31 observations, but no independent clinical test cohort. External prospective validation is still required.
What makes the method distinctive?
The documented approach combines three PCA-derived geometric asymmetry components in a weighted surface index and pairs the method with a connected iPhone and Apple Vision Pro review workflow. This is a concrete differentiator, not a claim that the app is the first or only product of its kind.
Who is it for?
Appropriately trained professionals, research teams, and institutions evaluating posterior-surface methods within the app's documented scope.
