Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Children under 2 years old at their first well-child visit seen in participating primary care pediatric practices in Switzerland.
✕Probably not a fit
Children whose families decline participation or who are not managed within participating practices may not benefit from the data collection insights.

What this trial studies
The PROS-CH project aims to create a digital pediatric cohort using REDCap in primary care settings. Pediatricians collect data from parents in waiting rooms, add clinical observations, and share treatment plans to test the feasibility of real-world data capture. The pilot will focus on early childhood development and interaction factors, assessing how well this approach works in everyday practice. The study leverages routine visits with a focus on non-referred, general pediatric care in Switzerland. No interventions are specified beyond data collection and observational tracking.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, PROS-CH could enable faster insights into common pediatric health problems using data from routine visits, potentially guiding practice and policy.
How similar studies have gone: Observational, practice-based data collection efforts in pediatrics have shown feasibility in prior settings, though this specific PROS-CH infrastructure is novel for Swiss primary care.
