About

Curva

Features
Read full description

Wearing a scoliosis brace is part of improving spine health — but knowing how you wear it matters just as much as wearing it. Curva connects to your smart brace to help you understand your daily wearing habits through gentle feedback and clear insights. By using built-in sensors, the app tracks brace positioning, pressure patterns, and wear time so you can stay consistent and comfortable throughout the day. Instead of guessing whether your brace is being worn correctly, Curva gives you supportive guidance designed to build confidence and routine. Whether you are adjusting to a brace for the first time, supporting your child, or simply trying to stay consistent, Curva turns brace-wearing into something understandable and manageable.
