Automated analysis of neonatal motor patterns
Neonatal Motor Pattern automatIc Analysis
This study is testing a new computer system that looks at how newborns move and react to see if it can help find early signs of brain problems.

What this trial studies
This project aims to develop a computerized clinical assessment system for newborns that evaluates motor patterns based on facial mimicry, cry, posture, and movement. The system will classify these patterns according to gestational age and identify potential pathological conditions such as anoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and brachial plexus paralysis. The assessments will be conducted in a controlled environment, ensuring the newborn is alert and comfortable during the examination. The goal is to enhance early detection of neurological issues in neonates through advanced computer vision and AI techniques.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are hospitalized newborns in the maternity ward or neonatal ICU who are at least 37 weeks gestation.
Not a fit: Patients whose legal guardians refuse participation or who are born to minor parents may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this system could lead to earlier and more accurate identification of neurological conditions in newborns.
How similar studies have performed: While the use of AI in neonatal assessments is emerging, this specific approach to automated motor pattern analysis is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
