About Modulate Technologies

Modulate Technologies uses AI-driven design and 3D printing to create patient‑specific scoliosis braces. By generating a digital twin of each patient’s spine, the company simulates brace performance and optimizes shape for maximal correction and comfort. The resulting lightweight, breathable orthoses are produced in biocompatible materials and validated through clinical trials.

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.

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.

Target Audience

The primary customers are scoliosis patients and clinicians, including orthotists, orthopedic surgeons, and physical therapists, seeking advanced, personalized bracing solutions.
