N2 - The design and development of a system, which is used in the geometrical characterization of a healthy or pathological curvature of the human spine, are discussed. The main objective is to avoid the application of invasive techniques that involve the application of radiation, such as X-rays or computerized tomography. For this purpose, a compact design has been proposed. It was manufactured with 3D-printed components and common electronic devices such as Arduino or NANO©. The anthropometric characteristics of Mexican individuals have been taken into consideration. This device can be used with young and adult patients. Preliminary results have been discussed.
