AI baby monitor: could algorithms spot motor delays?
NCT ID NCT05456126
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) can accurately identify movement problems in infants by analyzing videos of their motor skills. Researchers enrolled 122 full-term and preterm babies aged 2-4 months. The goal was to develop and validate AI algorithms that could screen for motor disorders, comparing the AI's performance to assessments by physical therapists. The study did not provide any treatment, but aimed to improve early detection of motor issues.
