Welcome to the Era of the

Diagnosing spine problems is notoriously difficult. SpineSense is the central hub where you uncover your likely diagnosis, track how your pain cycles over time, and send your complete clinical history to the right specialist before you step into the clinic.

"I've had back pain for 4 months. I've seen 3 doctors. I still don't know what's wrong."

This is the most common story we hear. Spine pain is complex. The current system wasn't built to handle it well for patients. SpineSense was.

THE DIAGNOSTIC PARADOX

Two journeys. One should never exist.

πŸ˜”

The Old Way

6 to 18 months to correct diagnosis

Pain starts. Confusion follows.

Your back has been hurting for weeks. You don't know if it's serious. You Google symptoms at midnight and spiral between 'muscle strain' and 'spinal tumor.' You have no idea who to call first.

Records scattered everywhere.

Your MRI is on a CD from 2021. Your PCP's notes are in one portal. Your physical therapy summary is a fax somewhere. No one has the full picture, including you.

Generic referral. Long wait.

Your PCP refers you to 'a spine doctor.' You get a 6-week appointment. You arrive and spend 15 minutes re-explaining your entire history to someone who has never seen you before.

Left with more questions.

You leave not fully understanding your diagnosis. You don't know what questions you should have asked. You don't know what comes next or when to be worried.

SpineSense

Arrive fully prepared on day one

Tell your story. Once.

Open SpineSense and speak naturally. Describe your pain, when it started, what makes it worse. The AI listens, understands spine anatomy, and builds your clinical picture from your own words.

Upload everything. Organized instantly.

Snap a photo of that old MRI report. Paste notes from MyChart. SpineSense reads them, extracts the key findings, and puts them all in one clean, chronological chart.

A clear map of what's happening.

Get a plain-language explanation of what your symptoms suggest, with an interactive body diagram showing exactly where your pain originates and which nerves may be involved.

Find the right doctor. With context.

SpineSense identifies the right type of specialist for your case and sends them a complete intake packet before your first appointment, so you spend your visit solving, not re-explaining.

YOUR JOURNEY

How SpineSense Works

From your first visit to walking into the right appointment fully prepared.

01

Describe your pain in your own words

Hit record and just talk. Where it hurts, when it started, what activities make it worse. SpineSense understands medical context and builds your intake from natural speech. Prefer typing? Do that instead.

πŸŽ™οΈ Voice or text, your choice
02

Upload your records in any format

Old MRI reports, clinic notes, lab results. Upload PDFs, images, or paste text from MyChart. SpineSense reads and extracts the key findings automatically.

πŸ“„ PDF, image, text all supported
03

Complete an adaptive questionnaire

The AI already knows what you've told it, so it only asks what it still needs. No redundant questions. Clinical pathways for your neck, mid-back, or lower back branch intelligently based on your symptoms.

⏱️ Typically 8 to 12 minutes
04

Get your personalized results

See a ranked list of what might be causing your pain with plain-language explanations. An interactive body diagram shows where your pain likely originates. You'll also get specific questions to ask at your appointment.

πŸ“‹ Printable and shareable report included
05

Find and refer yourself to the right specialist

Search for spine surgeons, pain management doctors, or physical therapists near you. Send them a one-click referral packet with your full assessment so your first visit is a consultation, not an intake.

πŸ“¬ Fax or email delivery with confirmation

PLATFORM CAPABILITIES

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Understand Your Likely Diagnosis

Our AI analyzes your narrative and uploaded records against surgeon-built clinical guidelines to provide plain-English educational diagnoses and tell you exactly which kind of specialist you actually need to see.

Surgical Likelihood Score

Not all back pain requires the OR. Based on your specific symptoms, failed conservative treatments, and imaging findings, we calculate the likelihood you would benefit from surgery versus continued physical therapy.

Longitudinal Pain Journaling

Spine pain is cyclical. Don't rely on memory to tell your doctor how bad it was last month. Log your flare-ups on an interactive body map to visually show your surgeon how symptoms change over time.

"What to Ask Your Doctor"

Walk into the exam room feeling empowered. Based on your unique assessment, SpineSense generates a tailored list of high-yield questions to ensure nothing is missed at your next appointment.

Your Central Records Hub

Upload PDFs or snap photos of your MRI reports. OCR technology reads the complex jargon and translates it for you. Keep every record in one pocket-sized, HIPAA-compliant vault.

Emergency Red Flag Detection

If you describe symptoms that need immediate care, like sudden leg weakness or loss of bladder control, SpineSense stops the assessment and tells you to go to the ER. Your safety is always first.
