Summary

This study is testing a new way to detect motor delays in infants using a special play mat with sensors and a smart toy. Researchers will watch how babies move and interact with the toy, then use AI to spot early signs of disability. The goal is to create an easy, objective tool that doctors can use to start therapy sooner. About 1,700 infants, including those with brain injuries and healthy controls, will take part.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simple, accurate tool for early detection of motor problems in infants, enabling earlier therapy and better outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The tool may not prove accurate enough for widespread use, and results may not apply to all infants.
