Summary

This study explores whether small, skin-friendly sensors can measure muscle activity and movement in newborns up to 8 weeks old. Researchers will compare sensor data with standard medical exams to see if the technology can help identify early signs of muscle or nerve problems. The goal is to find a simpler, more objective way to detect developmental issues sooner.
