Scoliosis patients are prescribed back braces to be worn a certain number of hours each day. Doctors generally allow excess brace time beyond the prescribed daily hours to be “banked” and applied to future days. BraceTrack calculates banked hours based on the difference between a user’s brace time and their goal hours per day and automatically applies banked hours to any daily shortfall until all banked hours are used or have expired.
