Hong Kong Rehabilitation and Technology Company Limited
The startup develops a brace “Scolicast” for patient with scoliosis to hold the trunk in good alignment and apply force to correct curve. X-ray film images will be projected on the patient's body and orthotists will apply force by linear pushing according to X-ray film images. Othotists will take a cast and the patient will take another X-ray to confirm if the cast can help to correct spine curve. Scolicasts will gradually be developed in a total computerized system, it could be controlled by software including force applying, scanning, etc.
