Can your phone spot a white pupil? app aims to catch childhood eye cancer early
NCT ID NCT04344652
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study planned to test a smartphone app called GoCheckKids as a screening tool for leukocoria (a white pupil reflex) in children from birth to 10 years old. Leukocoria can be an early sign of retinoblastoma, the most common eye cancer in children. The goal was to see if the app could reliably detect this sign, but the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled.
