MONTREAL, March 9,
2025 /CNW/ - Momentum Health, a leader in AI-based
spine imaging and remote monitoring, is proud to announce an
exciting new partnership with the Harms Study Group (HSG)—a global
network of distinguished surgeons dedicated to improving outcomes
for children with spinal deformities. Facilitated by the Setting
Scoliosis Straight Foundation (SSSF), this collaboration aims to
revolutionize how clinicians collect, analyze, and act on patient
data for pediatric scoliosis and related spinal conditions.
Under this collaboration, Momentum Health will integrate HSG's
patient questionnaires and custom data collection into the Momentum
Spine™ mobile platform. By harnessing cutting-edge AI, 3D
topography scans, wearable activity tracking, and brace-monitoring
functionality, the partnership promises to streamline clinical
workflows while unveiling deeper insights into how patients look,
feel, and function daily.
"We're honored to collaborate with the Harms Study Group and
Setting Scoliosis Straight," says Philippe Miller, CEO & Co-Founder of
Momentum Health. "Their commitment to pediatric spine research
aligns with our vision for patient-centered, data-driven care.
Together, we can advance insights in spine deformity research while
streamlining data collection."
"We are excited to partner with Momentum Health in this new era
of AI-driven collection of patient outcomes after scoliosis
treatment", says Dr. Suken
Shah, president of Harms Study Group & Setting Scoliosis
Straight Foundation . "True to our mission to
advance the care of patients with spinal curvatures, we want to
streamline data collection, accurately assess how our patients are
doing in real time, and customize their treatment based on their
condition severity and preferences."
Key Benefits and Collaborative Highlights
- Digitized Patient Questionnaires : Momentum Spine's
new interface will house HSG-specific patient-reported outcome
measures, making it easier for families to complete assessments and
for clinicians to review them
- 3D Topography & AI Analysis : A short
smartphone video captures a detailed digital model of a patient's
trunk, giving surgeons and researchers a new dimension of insight
into posture and spine alignment without radiation.
- Wearable Activity Data : Step counts, floors
climbed, and other daily activity metrics from common wearables
will integrate directly with the patient's profile, providing a
holistic view of functional progress.
- Brace Wear Compliance : Built-in brace-monitoring
features will offer precise data on how consistently patients
follow their prescribed bracing regimens, helping guide and refine
treatment.
"We believe this partnership marks a turning point in pediatric
scoliosis care," notes Dr. Jean
Ouellet, President & CMO at Momentum Health. "Through
this unique collaboration, the Harms Study Group gains a secure,
centralized platform, enabling more efficient research while
maintaining the highest standards of patient safety and
confidentiality."
