Built for young people who have been prescribed a scoliosis-brace, it turns wear time into something you can see, track, and feel good about.

BackBonz supports multiple sessions a day and shows your total hours at a glance. SET GOALS AND BUILD STREAKS Set a daily or weekly wear goal during onboarding and watch your progress fill in throughout the day. Consecutive days on goal build a streak, with milestone celebrations at 7, 14, 30 days and beyond. Back bonz is important. Backbonz is important.

CHECK IN WITH YOURSELF The daily journal lets you record your mood, note any physical discomfort, reflect on your day, and write freely. Over time your journal becomes a personal record you can look back on or choose to share with the people supporting you. SEE YOUR STORY IN ONE PLACE The timeline brings wear sessions and journal entries together in a single view, so you can browse any day and see how far you have come. STAY ON TRACK Optional reminders help with morning starts, evening journaling, and streaks at risk. Quiet hours mean no notifications late at night.
