Shriners Hospitals for Children created an app for detecting scoliosis in children.
Here are three highlights:
1. The app, SpineScreen, detects the curves in a child's back as a person moves the cell phone along his or her back.
2. Shriners Hospitals for Children recommends parents download the app to check their children's spine each year.
3. Parents may download the app for free on the App Store or Google Play.
