“Vivametrica has been researching lower back pain caused by lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), which, according to cofounder and chief operating officer Dr Christy Lane, ‘is the top reason for orthopaedic surgery in North America; it’s a huge, costly problem, and what’s happening is that people are getting thrown into surgery, which is often very successful, but there also are a lot of people who could avoid surgery through something like this’.”
Vivametrica researchers’ newly-published pilot study suggests wearable devices can help alleviate back pain.
