About this trial

The purpose of this study is therefore five-fold: (1) designation of an APP "Baby Go" version 3.0 to include the assessment, follow-up, and education functions for parental use at home, (2) development and validation of the AI algorithm for infant motor assessment based on home videos obtained from term and preterm infants, (3) comparison of parental perception and report with AI-driven assessment results, (4) examination of the predictive validity of the AI algorithm for infant motor assessment on subsequent outcome, and (5) investigation of the usability of the APP "Baby Go" version 3.0 in parents and clinicians.

Trial population

This study will recruit preterm and term infants from National Taiwan University Children's Hospital (NTUCH), Taipei, Taiwan, with the former recruited from the neonatal follow-up clinic and the latter from the well-baby follow-up clinic. Two pediatric physiotherapists providing early intervention to the participating infants will be invited to complete a feedback questionnaire about the APP "Baby Go."

User experience from parents

Parents' perspectives on the use of the APP "Baby Go" were collected using Google Forms (For parents: https://forms.gle/BPL7CWopaB7qk3388). The questionnaire for parents was customized for the APP "Baby Go" in this study and adapted from a survey used in the "Baby Moves" APP previously described by Kwong et al. The questionnaire for the parents consisted of three sections: (1) frequency of the APP use, (2) benefits of the APP use, and (3) user's experience. Questionnaires contained three types of measures: (1) multiple choice, (2) five-point Likert scale, and (3) open-ended questions.

Time frame
When the infant approached 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months

User experience from clinicians

Clinicians' perspectives on the use of the APP "Baby Go" were collected using Google Forms (for clinicians: https://forms.gle/3L7nGKe2ZTT39t7n6). The questionnaire for clinicians is customized for the APP "Baby Go" in this study and adapted from a healthcare professional interview previously described by AlMahadin et al. 44 The questionnaire for clinicians contains two sections: (1) perspectives of the APP use and (2) recommendations of APP use. Each questionnaire contains three types of measures: (1) multiple choice, (2) five-point Likert scale, and (3) open-ended questions.

Time frame
When the infant 18 months
