# MyBackHub (NSite Medical)

> MyBackHub, built by NSite Medical (legally Nsite, Inc.), is an AI-powered digital health platform for non-operative back and spine care. Spun out of the founders' earlier scoliosis work at the National Scoliosis Clinic, it uses a smartphone-based, radiation-free AI scan (the PostureBackNeck Assessment) to analyze posture and spinal alignment at home, then builds a personalized recovery plan combining adaptive exercises, live Pilates classes, licensed physical therapists, Stanford's Empowered Relief pain program, and a 24/7 AI companion. The company holds FDA 510(k) clearance for its AI-based scoliosis scanning app and delivers care at little to no cost through select Medicare and insurance plans.
