First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study collects photos and videos of infants aged 0-24 months to train an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to measure their length and weight. Parents and healthcare providers will also take physical measurements using standard tools. The goal is to see if the AI can accurately predict a baby's size from images, which could make growth tracking easier and more accessible.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a simple, accurate way for parents and doctors to track infant growth using just a smartphone, without special equipment.

What could go wrong

This is an early data-collection and algorithm-testing study, not a treatment trial. The AI may not be accurate enough yet, and results may not apply to all infants or settings.
