Clinical Scorecard: Evaluation of the Baby Moves Application for Remote Assessment of General Movements: A Prospective Observational Study in an Italian Infant Cohort
At a Glance
Category
Detail
Condition
General Movements Assessment (GMA)
Key Mechanisms
Remote assessment of spontaneous infant movements via smartphone application.
Target Population
At-risk and healthy term infants.
Care Setting
Home-based study using a smartphone app.
Key Highlights
High app uptake: 91.9% of families downloaded and activated the Baby Moves app.
182 families (91.5%) submitted at least one video for assessment.
Mean number of uploaded videos was 4.3, with 58.3% submitting ≥5 videos.
High parental usability and acceptability reported, despite some challenges.
Guideline-Based Recommendations
Diagnosis
Utilize GMA for early detection of cerebral palsy in infants.
Management
Incorporate app-based GMA into standard neurodevelopmental follow-up programs.
Monitoring & Follow-up
Assess video quality and parental engagement in the GMA process.
Risks
Connectivity issues and infant state during recording may affect video submission.
Patient & Prescribing Data
199 infants, including 85 at-risk and 114 healthy term infants.
Parents can effectively collect suitable videos for GMA using the Baby Moves app.
Clinical Best Practices
Encourage families to submit multiple videos during the fidgety period (12-16 weeks).
Provide clear filming instructions and support for parents using the app.
