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.

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.
