Can your phone spot eye cancer? app tested for retinoblastoma
NCT ID NCT03016156
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a smartphone app called CRADLE that uses a photo to detect leukocoria (a white glow in the pupil), which can be a sign of retinoblastoma, cataracts, or glaucoma. Researchers planned to compare the app's accuracy to a standard eye exam in children with these conditions. However, the study was terminated early after enrolling only 1 participant, so no reliable conclusions can be drawn.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Smartphone application (CRADLE)
What this could lead to
If successful, this app could help parents and doctors spot early signs of eye cancer in children using a smartphone, leading to faster diagnosis.
What could go wrong
The study was terminated with only 1 participant, so we have very little data. The app may not be accurate enough to replace standard exams, and results may not apply to all children.
