The Winning Combination: Providence Nocturnal Scoliosis® Orthosis + stWear® Compliance Monitor
Early Intervention, Better Outcomes—Day and Night
When scoliosis is caught early in juvenile or adolescent patients, the curves are typically smaller and treatment options are more diverse. Early intervention is the key to successful non-invasive treatment, and the Providence Nocturnal Scoliosis® Orthosis offers the most effective path forward—one that preserves normal daily life while achieving exceptional correction.
The Missing Piece: Objective Compliance Data
Here's the challenge every practitioner faces: You can order the perfect brace, but success depends entirely on whether patients actually wear it.
Traditional methods rely on self-reporting, which research shows is notoriously unreliable. The BrAIST Clinical Trial revealed patients wore braces an average of just 12 hours per day—far below the 23-hour prescription for full-time bracing.
Enter the stWear® Compliance Monitoring System
Our stWear® Compliance Monitoring System eliminates guesswork with three integrated components: an online portal for physicians and practitioners, a smartphone app for parents, and a compliance monitor with extended battery life and Bluetooth capability.
Real-Time Intelligence:
- Body heat-activated sensor tracks actual wear time automatically
- Cloud-based, HIPAA-compliant portal accessible from any device
- Customizable patient schedules via dashboard
- Weekly or monthly reports showing frequency and duration of brace wear
Three Types of Users, One Seamless Experience:
For Practitioners:
- Monitor all patients from a single dashboard
- Generate comprehensive compliance reports
- Identify non-compliance early, before curves progress
- Make data-driven treatment decisions
For Parents:
- iOS and Android app for at-a-glance monitoring
- Receive alerts and track progress
- Support accountability without constant nagging
- Share objective data with medical team
For Patients:
- Creates positive feedback loop when compliance = visible results
- Gamifies treatment adherence
- Builds ownership of treatment journey
The Synergy of Lower Threshold + Better Tracking
When you combine the Providence Brace's easier wear schedule with stWear® Compliance Monitoring System's objective monitoring, you create the optimal conditions for compliance:
- Easier to Start: Nocturnal-only wear means lower initial resistance
- Easier to Sustain: Better quality of life = less treatment fatigue over years
- Easier to Verify: Real-time data catches slipping compliance immediately
- Easier to Succeed: As average hours per day increased in clinical trials, success rates improved significantly (p<0.0001)
Because successful scoliosis treatment requires more than a good brace—it requires a brace patients will actually wear, night after night. And now you can monitor it.
The Positive Feedback Loop
Strong early compliance → Better initial correction → Visible curve stabilization/reduction → Motivated patient → Continued compliance → Sustained results
Long-Term Benefits:
- Curves stabilized at lower degrees remain treatable with nocturnal bracing
- Patients less likely to progress to full-time bracing requirements
- Reduced treatment fatigue over multi-year journeys
- Better outcomes that last
Treatment Is a Marathon, Not a Sprint
Scoliosis treatment that begins with early intervention often spans years—through critical growth periods and adolescent development. Even the most compliant patients can grow tired of full-time bracing, which is why eliminating the social stigma and physical discomfort of daytime wear significantly impacts long-term adherence.
The Providence® Brace + stWear® Compliance Monitoring System Advantage:
- Patients maintain normal school and social lives
- Reduced physical restrictions in daily activities
- Objective data supports patients when they need encouragement
- Healthcare team can intervene proactively when compliance dips
