What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This completed study tested whether artificial intelligence can estimate iron deficiency and anemia risk in African children without a blood draw. Researchers collected blood samples, images, and videos from 126 children under 6 years old to train AI algorithms. The goal is to develop a non-invasive digital tool that could make screening easier and more accessible in remote areas.

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 simple, non-invasive way to screen for iron deficiency and anemia in children using photos or videos, reducing the need for blood tests.
What could go wrong
This is an early exploratory study with only 126 children, so the AI algorithms may not be accurate enough for real-world use. Results may not apply to all African regions or age groups.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
