About Modulate Technologies
Modulate develops personalized spinal orthoses for scoliosis treatment using a fully automated design process that combines 3D scanning, machine learning, and finite element modeling to create biomechanically optimized braces. This approach enhances brace effectiveness and comfort while reducing the need for adjustments, resulting in an average in-brace curve correction of 82% as validated in clinical trials.
```xml <problem> Traditional scoliosis braces often require manual adjustments by specialized orthotists, and may not fully account for individual patient morphology, potentially leading to discomfort and suboptimal spinal correction. Current brace designs may also lack features that promote comfort and breathability, impacting patient compliance and treatment effectiveness. </problem> <solution> Modulate leverages AI and 3D printing to create personalized spinal orthoses for scoliosis treatment. The process begins with a 3D scan of the patient's torso and existing radiographs, which are used to generate a digital twin, including bones and soft tissues. This digital twin is then used in a generative algorithm to design a brace shape that is biomechanically optimized for the patient's unique morphology and scoliosis. The design is validated using finite element modeling to simulate spinal correction and predict growth modulation, ensuring optimal fit and effectiveness before manufacturing. </solution> <features> - Fully automated custom design based on a 3D digital twin of the patient - Biomechanically optimized shape for reliable brace effectiveness - Thinner, lighter, and airier braces for improved comfort - Multi-material construction with flexible sections aligned with key anatomical regions - Lightweight aeration motifs for airflow and extended wear - Strong 3D-printed shell made from biocompatible materials - Gamified mobile app for treatment follow-ups and progress tracking (in development) </features> <target_audience> The primary customers are scoliosis patients and clinicians, including orthotists, orthopedic surgeons, and physical therapists, seeking advanced, personalized bracing solutions. </target_audience> ```
