Digital health platforms can improve predictive modeling and personalised treatment strategies: GlobalData

The integration of patient data into mobile health platforms is part of a larger trend in digital health innovation. The recent collaboration between Momentum Health and the Harms Study Group (HSG) aims to enhance pediatric scoliosis management by leveraging technology such as 3D imaging, artificial intelligence (AI), and wearable tracking. As AI, machine learning, and data analytics become more sophisticated, healthcare providers can leverage these technologies to improve predictive modeling and personalised treatment strategies, says GlobalData.

The Momentum Spine platform introduces 3D topography scans, AI-powered analysis, and real-time wearable tracking to replace traditional X-rays, reducing radiation exposure. Additionally, its brace monitoring functionality ensures patient adherence to prescribed treatment plans. These innovations align with the healthcare industry’s move toward personalised and data-driven treatment strategies.

Elia Garcia, Medical Analyst, GlobalData, comments, “Children and adolescents with scoliosis, in particular, are poised to gain significant advantages from this approach. Remote monitoring of posture and spinal alignment reduces the need for frequent hospital visits, promoting a more proactive model of care. Furthermore, real-time tracking of activity levels and brace compliance allows patients to take greater ownership of their treatment. Managing a chronic condition like scoliosis can be psychologically demanding, but providing immediate feedback and positive reinforcement through digital tools may improve adherence and lead to better treatment outcomes.”

GlobalData’s report, “Regulatory Approved Apps Market Size by Segments, Share, Regulatory, Reimbursement, and Forecast to 2036,” reveals that as AI, machine learning, and data analytics evolve, healthcare providers can use these technologies to enhance predictive models and create more personalised treatment plans.

Garcia concludes, “Over time, collaborations like Momentum Health and HSG could lead to broader applications in spinal care. By improving patient compliance and reducing complications, digital platforms like Momentum Spine can help healthcare systems use resources more efficiently and reduce costs.”
