Momentum Health provides a platform for radiation-free 3D spine imaging and remote monitoring using smartphone technology. This system allows spine specialists to objectively assess spinal asymmetry and track progression over time without relying on repeat X-rays. The service delivers objective data for faster intervention, improved brace compliance tracking, and more predictable patient outcomes.

Problem
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) requires frequent monitoring to detect curve progression, traditionally involving X-rays every six months. However, only a small percentage of patients require intervention, exposing the majority to unnecessary radiation. Current methods also rely on inconsistent manual measurements, leading to potential errors in assessing spinal curvature.
Solution
Momentum Spine offers a mobile application that enables remote scoliosis monitoring using 3D imaging technology, reducing the need for frequent X-ray exposure. The app utilizes a smartphone camera to capture a short video of the patient's torso, generating a true-to-scale 3D model. Proprietary AI algorithms then analyze volumetric asymmetries and predict spinal curvature parameters, providing detailed feedback on spine curvature and its progression history. This allows patients to actively participate in their care, track changes in their condition, and gain a sense of control over their scoliosis management. The technology also supports primary care physicians by providing a tool to accurately monitor patients, potentially reducing unnecessary referrals to specialists.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes scoliosis patients, their families, and primary care physicians seeking a radiation-free, remote monitoring solution.
