Assessing motor and cognitive development in infants using wearables

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The PILKE study utilizes a multisensor wearable garment called MAIJU to monitor motor development in infants, aiming to establish functional growth trajectories for both typically developing infants and those at risk of neurodevelopmental disorders. The study involves regular assessments every 6-8 weeks from 5 to 18 months of age, with neuropsychological outcomes evaluated using Bayley scales at two years. By comparing motor performance trajectories with clinically identified developmental measures, the study seeks to understand the correlation between early motor skills and later cognitive development.
