Smart sensors could spot motor delays in babies early
NCT ID NCT03770832
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether wearable sensors and video recordings can help detect motor development problems in infants from birth to 24 months. Researchers will compare data from these devices with standard clinical tests. The goal is to create a more precise and automated way to identify babies who may need early help. About 150 infants at risk for motor delays, along with healthy controls, are taking part.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Individuals identified as potentially at risk of abnormal motor development due to a risk factor (for example, prematurity, neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, or neonatal stroke) OR control individuals for whom normal motor development is expected. * Age: \< 24 months of age * Legal guardian able and willing to give written consent and comply with study procedures. * In case of multiple pregnancies, only one child selected at random will participate in the research activities. Study staff will have no influence over the selection, besides any known medical condition automatically excluding the baby as listed in our exclusion criteria. Exclusion Criteria: * Any open wound or skin breakdown on the limbs or upper torso. * Missing or incomplete limbs (such as from amputation or congenital limb defects) * Legal guardian unable to give written consent and comply with study procedures.
