Objectives
 To (1) enhance the multi-task machine learning model in AlignProCARE, a mobile app designed to detect significant adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), by increasing the representation of normal children during model training; (2) validate the detection accuracy of AlignProCARE in an independent sample; and (3) identify factors that may restrict its use.
