Can AI measure your Baby's size from a photo?
NCT ID NCT07514182
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether artificial intelligence can accurately estimate the length, weight, and head circumference of newborns and infants up to 6 months old using photos and videos. Researchers will compare AI estimates to standard measurements taken by healthcare professionals in hospital nurseries. The goal is to develop a simpler, less intrusive way to track infant growth.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a non-invasive, camera-based tool for monitoring infant growth in hospitals, reducing the need for physical measurements.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage observational study (60 infants) focused on algorithm development, not a treatment. The AI may not be accurate enough for clinical use, and results may not apply to all infants or settings.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population comprises neonates and infants from birth up to 6 months of age who are admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) or special care nursery (SCN). Eligible participants include very preterm, moderate to late preterm, and term infants who meet the study's inclusion criteria and whose parents or legally acceptable representatives provide written informed consent. Participants are enrolled during their NICU/SCN stay and followed prospectively for the duration of their hospitalization, up to a maximum of 10 weeks. The study collects anthropometric measurements and image and video data in conjunction with routine clinical care.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Infants up from birth up to 6 months of postnatal age (including neonates) who have been admitted to the NICU or SCN at the time of screening 2. Parent(s) should be able to comprehend the content of the study and be willing for their child to undergo video and photo recording, and to allow access to their blood sampling results (haemoglobin) taken as part of standard clinical practice 3. Written consent from parents and/or legally acceptable representative Exclusion Criteria: 1. Infants who were born with gestational age of less than 28 weeks of gestational age 2. Infants who are intubated (i.e., endotracheal, nasotracheal intubation) at the time of screening 3. The investigator considers for any reason that the participant would not be suitable for the study 4. The participant has an existing medical condition that would prevent standardised measurement of length and/or head circumference e.g. structural abnormality of the lower limbs, orthopaedic conditions, hydrocephalus 5.
