AI and mobile app for assessing infant motor skills at home
Combined Artificial Intelligence and Mobile Application for Remote Infant Motor Screening: Development and Validation
This study is testing a new mobile app called 'Baby Go' that helps parents check their baby's motor skills at home using AI to analyze videos.

What this trial studies
This study aims to develop and validate a mobile application called 'Baby Go' version 3.0, which will assist parents in assessing their infants' motor skills from home. It will incorporate an AI algorithm that analyzes home videos of both term and preterm infants to provide accurate motor assessments. The study will also compare parental reports with AI-driven results and evaluate the app's usability for both parents and clinicians. Ultimately, it seeks to enhance early identification and intervention for infants at risk of developmental disorders.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include preterm infants aged 2-18 months and term infants aged 2-18 months, along with clinicians who can provide early intervention.
Not a fit: Patients whose parents cannot read Chinese may not benefit from this study due to language barriers.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enable earlier detection and intervention for infants with motor disorders, improving developmental outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: While the integration of AI in motor assessment is emerging, this specific combination with a mobile app for home use is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
