How it works

One loop, two surfaces.

For patients

  1. Answer a 5-minute baseline. Seven plain-language questions build your personalized tracking plan.
  2. Check in once a day. Pain 0–10, walking auto-fills from Apple Health, wound status — done in seconds.
  3. See your trend. Daily check-ins become a recovery timeline — and if your clinic uses SpineOS, your care team sees it too.

For clinicians

  1. Measure. Cobb, SVA, and PI–PT–LL with guided landmarking.
  2. Document. Medical-necessity evidence packets and RTM reports.
  3. Monitor. Check-ins, wound photos, and an alert inbox.
For clinicians

SpineOS: the workspace behind the app.

The difference between SpineOS and EasySpine: EasySpine is what patients see; SpineOS is the clinician workspace it reports into — measurement, planning, documentation, and monitoring for the whole episode.

X-ray measurement & guided landmarking

Cobb, SVA, PI, PT, SS, LL, and PI–LL, computed live as you drop landmarks — with guided workflows and every value reviewed and confirmed by you.

Structured MRI/CT finding review

Pfirrmann, Modic, and stenosis grading in a structured review queue — every candidate finding is adjudicated by the clinician before it goes anywhere.

Prior-authorization evidence packets

Medicare contractor guidance names undocumented conservative care as the most common fusion denial reason — SpineOS assembles the dated record: conservative care, reviewed imaging, PROMs, and alignment, in one medical-necessity packet that supports your documentation.

RTM documentation

Remote therapeutic monitoring reports for CPT 98975–98981, with the 16-day rule tracked from real patient check-in data.

PROM collection without chasing patients

ODI, NDI, and 12 more instruments, answered on the patient's phone and interpreted with MCID-aware trends.

EasySpine is free for patients. SpineOS is sold to spine service lines as an annual platform subscription — ask what it costs for your practice.

Questions, answered plainly.

What should I track during spine surgery recovery?

Most care teams want a handful of signals: pain (0–10), how much you're walking, wound status, sleep, and any new symptoms. Tracking them daily turns scattered notes into a trend you can bring to follow-up visits. Your own surgeon's instructions always come first. Learn more →

How much should I walk after spinal fusion?

Most surgeons encourage walking early and often — short, frequent walks typically help recovery more than one long walk. Research in lumbar fusion patients has used a benchmark of roughly 3,500 steps a day, but the right amount for you is whatever your surgeon sets. EasySpine fills in your walking automatically from Apple Health so you never have to count. Learn more →

How do I know if my incision is healing normally?

Mild redness, swelling, and itching are common early in healing. Increasing redness or warmth, new drainage, wound edges opening, or a fever are reasons to call your care team promptly. Daily wound photos help your care team watch for signs of infection between visits. When in doubt, call — that's what they're there for. Learn more →

When can I drive after back surgery?

There's no universal date. Most surgeons look for three gates: you're off narcotic pain medication, you can move well enough to brake and check blind spots, and your surgeon has explicitly cleared you. Ask at a follow-up visit before you get behind the wheel. Learn more →

How should I sleep after spinal fusion?

Most people do best on their back with a pillow under the knees, or on their side with a pillow between the knees. The log-roll technique — moving shoulders and hips together — typically makes getting in and out of bed easier. Follow your surgeon's positioning instructions over any general advice. Learn more →

Is EasySpine free, and do I need my clinic to use it?

EasySpine is free, and no — you don't need your clinic to use it. Self-guided mode gives you full tracking with your data kept on your phone. If your surgeon's practice uses SpineOS, clinic-linked mode lets your care team see your check-ins, wound photos, and outcome scores. The iPhone app is in early-access beta; the web portal works today. Learn more →

Is my data private?

In self-guided mode, your tracking data stays on your device — it isn't sent to us at all. In clinic-linked mode, your data lives in your clinic's tenant-isolated workspace protected by Row-Level Security and audit trails, and wound photos are visible only to your care team. Learn more →

What does SpineOS do for clinicians?

SpineOS is the clinician workspace behind EasySpine: X-ray measurement with guided landmarking, structured MRI/CT finding review, prior-authorization evidence packets, RTM documentation reports, PROM collection, and recovery monitoring with an alert inbox. Learn more →

How does SpineOS help with prior authorization?

The most common reason fusion prior authorizations are denied is undocumented conservative care. SpineOS assembles the dated record — conservative-care history, clinician-reviewed imaging findings, outcome scores, and alignment measurements — into a medical-necessity evidence packet. It supports your documentation; it doesn't approve coverage or guarantee a decision. Learn more →

What are the RTM CPT codes?

Spine practices document remote therapeutic monitoring under CPT 98975, 98977, 98980, and 98981. The 16-day rule — at least sixteen days of patient data in a 30-day period — governs the monitoring codes. SpineOS generates the RTM documentation report from patient check-in data. Learn more →
