The app itself is very easy to use and very handy. By using the integrated accelerometer and the camera of the iPhone, you will easily get readings of the ATR (angle of trunk rotation) and of the overall progression of your spine condition. The readings are then compared, depending on your age, height and body weight to a normal model and saved for further analysis. While monthly check-ups are recommended, you can perform the reading at any time you see fit. The new readings will be compared to the former ones and, thus, you will know at all times how much progress you have made.

The readings themselves are organized chronologically, can be visualized without having complex medical knowledge and are really easy to follow.
