A study published in JAMA Network Open suggests that an AI smartphone app using a deep learning model (DLM) can be beneficial for managing adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The app uses a validated model to classify the severity and curve type of AIS and identify progression based on radiographs and smartphone photographs. The app was developed and validated in a training collaboration and incorporated into the AlignProCARE open platform.
The DLM model exhibited good ability to differentiate between curve types and recommended follow-up and surgery with high accuracy. It also outperformed two experienced spine surgeons in recognizing severities and curve types. The authors highlight the advantages of this app, including its ability to provide continuous monitoring with minimal cost and no additional radiation.
