AI spots baby seizures in home videos, could speed treatment
NCT ID NCT06315829
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
Infantile spasms are a type of seizure that can harm development if not treated quickly, but they are often mistaken for normal movements. This study tested a computer program that learns from parent-recorded videos to tell the difference between these seizures and harmless movements. Researchers used videos from 61 infants to train the program, aiming to help doctors diagnose faster and improve children's outcomes.
