Summary

This study tests whether a smartphone app that uses artificial intelligence can help teens with scoliosis do better exercises than traditional physical therapy. The app analyzes posture and creates a personalized workout plan. Researchers will compare spine curve changes and how often teens do their exercises over 6 months in 300 participants aged 10-18.

Active substance: AI-based digital therapeutic smartphone app
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a more convenient and personalized way for teens to manage scoliosis at home, potentially slowing curve progression.
What could go wrong: This is a relatively early trial with 300 participants. The AI system may not work for everyone, and the app requires consistent use and a smartphone, which could limit its reach.
