Our system incorporates a reward system and a pet-based storyline to motivate users and was conducted over a 4-week field study with 7 children. Our contributions and results are as follows : 1) children had significantly improved their asymmetry in range of motion (ROM) - an important indicator for diagnosing scoliosis - from 19 æ to 7 æ, 2) significantly improved their scores on spinal health concepts from 78% to 94%, 3) strongly favored iSpine to the current spinal health curriculum, and 4) showed strong interest in using iSpine daily. %@ 978-1-4503-1952-2
