Seventeen. Solo builder. I make open, evidence-based tools for scoliosis patients and their families — free, no ads, every claim sourced.

Motivewhy this exists

The evidence exists. It just wasn't written for the people who need it.

Search scoliosis in Chinese and you mostly find anxiety, ads, and rumor. The research that would actually answer a family's questions sits in English journals, unread. I build tools that carry that evidence across — graded, cited, and free — to the teens and parents living with the diagnosis.

Self-funded. Free, no ads, no sponsors.

Every claim traces to a graded source. Fabricated citations are blocked by design.

The AI assists. It never diagnoses, and never speaks for your doctor.

  1. Scoliosis Open

    LIVE

    An open, bilingual evidence platform for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis — built so newly diagnosed teens and their parents can read what the research actually says.

    Webscoliosisopen.org

    Open Library — 23 guided-reading papers, each graded by evidence level, readable in Chinese and English.

    Awan — an AI assistant fine-tuned on the library. Every answer carries citations verified against the catalog; fabricated sources never reach the reader.

    Cobb Angle Tool — upload a spinal X-ray, and a model returns the Cobb angle in seconds.

    iOS AppBUILDING

    The whole library offline, and your data follows you by end-to-end-encrypted sync code — no account required.

  2. Sixteen Hours

    BUILDING

    One year, one brace, eight hours a day it can come off. An eight-minute serious game about how those hours get spent — for everyone who's never had to wear one.
