Summary

This study explores whether small, skin-friendly sensors can detect early signs of muscle tone problems in newborns up to 8 weeks old. Researchers will compare sensor data with standard medical exams to see if the technology can identify atypical muscle development sooner. The goal is to improve early diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders in infants.
