Why Pick AlignPro Over Old Back Screening Protocols?
Standard scoliosis exams involve various phases (Adam's Test, Moire scans, scoliometers), necessitating bulky tools and specialized clinic visits with expert medical staff in person.
- AlignPro provides safety and ease: using a mobile device, it functions without heavy hardware—just one rear photo. It cuts out redundant tasks, is very user-friendly, works everywhere (like school or at home), and uses zero harmful rays.
To recap: old ways need "gear + clinics + experts + many phases," but AlignPro simply requires "a smartphone + one snap + no radiation involved whatsoever."

Created by the Orthopaedics team at HKUMed, the AlignPro tool is part of the mskalign™ AI suite. Built for spinal checks, AlignPro assesses the degree and category of back issues from one photo and enables automated X-ray review. It seeks to offer a swift, stable, and repeatable testing method without complex hardware or massive manpower. AlignPro’s AI logic is backed by peer-reviewed work in global journals like JAMA (2023), The Lancet (2022), Bioengineering (2023), IEEE (2021), and European Spine Journal (2020). These reports show its accuracy rivals top surgeons. The lab took a Gold Medal at the 2022 Geneva Inventions for the "Intelligent Orthopaedics Platform." HK's Innovation Secretary also praised its impact. Presently, mskalign is for research only; do not use for self-checks. Clinical paths must be set by doctors.
