About

Comfortable self-assembly scoliosis brace

Existing scoliosis braces are uncomfortable and have poor patient compliance leading to less effective treatment outcomes.

Airy is an AI customisable brace which can be adjusted as teenagers grow, increasing comfort and therefore compliance. It has an integrated monitor to track the daily wearing time of the patient and both doctor and patient can access the data and communicate via an app, which allows them to instantly review the treatment and consider any modification required.
