Our Developers
SPINEHealthie was developed and is maintained by AppTailors, a team dedicated to designing and optimizing the app to meet the needs of both patients and providers. In collaboration with the research team at the University of Washington, they ensure continuous updates and improvements to enhance user experience. Without their expertise and effort, SPINEHealthie would not have come to life.
