Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Medical Informatics
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Scoliosis, a spinal curvature impacting quality of life, is typically diagnosed using the Cobb angle measurement via X-rays.
  • Traditional scoliosis evaluation involves in-person visits with medical professionals.
  • Information and Communications Technology (ICT) solutions, including smartphone applications (apps) and web-based platforms, are increasingly used in orthopedics for scoliosis screening and monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of key features of popular scoliosis ICT tools (apps and web applications).
  • To assess and compare various scoliosis apps to guide selection for doctors and patients.
  • To highlight benefits of ICT tools for patients (reduced visits, self-monitoring) and doctors (remote monitoring, data analysis).

Main Methods:

  • A methodology was developed to evaluate scoliosis apps based on five categories: technological aspects, measurement types, availability, user functions, and overall assessment.
  • Six scoliosis apps and one web-based application were described and evaluated using the proposed methodology.

Main Results:

  • Results of the scoliosis app assessments are presented in a tabular format for clear comparison.
  • The tabular results aid doctors, specialists, and families in choosing appropriate scoliosis apps.

Conclusions:

  • ICT solutions offer significant advantages for spinal curvature assessment and monitoring for both patients and orthopedic specialists.
  • Six scoliosis apps and one web-based application were evaluated, with a selection guideline provided.
