Radar + AI spots spine curves without X-Rays
NCT ID NCT07593560
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores using millimeter-wave radar and artificial intelligence to detect early signs of scoliosis by analyzing a person's gait. About 200 children and adults with suspected scoliosis will walk in front of a radar sensor, and the AI will compare its findings to standard clinical exams. If successful, this method could provide a safe, radiation-free, and privacy-friendly way to screen for scoliosis in schools and clinics.
