Parents as ear infection detectives: new study tests home otoscopy
NCT ID NCT07640568
First seen Jun 16, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026
Summary
This pilot study will test if parents can learn to use a digital otoscope (ear camera) at home to check for ear infections in their young children. About 40 children aged 1-4 who have had ear infections before will take part. Parents in the study group will get training and a device to capture ear images when they suspect an infection, while the control group follows standard care. The goal is to see if this approach reduces doctor visits and antibiotic use.
