We are a Hong Kong company dedicated to the research and development of novel strategies for assessment and treatment of patients with spinal deformities. We have assembled a strong multidisciplinary team to execute our mission to bring innovation to improve spine health.
Current information is lacking on the global prevalence of spinal deformities in subjects of different ages. Early detection may facilitate better prevention and treatment of spinal deformities. In collaboration with the University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, we have recently developed an intelligent smartphone based measuring tool, SpineScan3D, that allows rapid scanning and profiling of the shape of an individual’s back and the detection of early deformities in axial, coronal and sagittal planes. Data storage and identification allows for longitudinal follow-up and assessment of health related quality of life.
Integrating the experience from spine care specialists and engineers, our joint effort can overcome the challenges of conventional methods and ultimately facilitate spine research and development of more effective prevention and treatment strategies.
