Doesnt work

My daughter has a confirmed case of scoliosis at 34 degrees. Tested her twice both times said she was in the normal range. Shes already in a full time brace. (She obviously wasn't wearing it when I tested her) The app did not detect her curvature.

Doesn’t work

It just kept saying “scanning” but nothing more.

Excellent!

This app made doing a preliminary screen for scoliosis on my own children so simple. It really was foolproof with the directions, countdown to begin, and double check to ensure accuracy. I appreciated the easy to understand results and the ability to easily find contact information for our local Shriners Hospital for Children should we ever get a less than acceptable result. My favorite part as a busy mom is that I was able to set a reminder to receive a notification in 6 months to rescreen. This, in addition to our annual well-visits, will be a fantastic way to check for scoliosis.
