New grid could help detect preemie delays sooner
NCT ID NCT07169110
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a new observation grid can help doctors and therapists consistently identify early signs of developmental problems in very premature babies (born at 27-32 weeks). Researchers will film 35 infants at home and have different professionals rate their development using the grid. The goal is to create a reliable tool for very early detection, so these vulnerable babies can get the right support as soon as possible.
