How My Scoliosis Journey Inspired a UX Case Study
After taking a few months off to recover from scoliosis surgery, I'm finally back on YouTube.
In this video, I share my 20-year scoliosis journey, what it was like growing up with scoliosis before social media existed, my recent spinal fusion surgery, and how my experience inspired a UX design case study.
As a Product Designer, I started wondering:
If people with scoliosis already have access to Reddit, YouTube, forums, and online communities, is there still something UX Design can contribute?
That question led me to explore an idea for a scoliosis-focused avatar system designed to help people communicate parts of their journey visually while maintaining privacy.
This isn't a polished product or a validated solution—it's an early concept prototype and a design exploration inspired by personal experience.
In this video:
• What scoliosis is
• My diagnosis story
• Living with a brace as a teenager
• Why I postponed surgery until adulthood
• My spinal fusion surgery experience
• The role of online communities and social media
• UX problem exploration
• Avatar concept ideation
• Figma prototype walkthrough
If you have scoliosis, have undergone spinal fusion surgery, or work in healthcare, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
And if you're a UX/Product Designer, I'd love to know:
Do you think design can play a role in supporting scoliosis patients beyond simply providing information?
