Feasibility of the Baby Moves app for remote General Movements Assessment: a prospective observational cohort study in an Italian infant population

1

The Baby Moves app was evaluated for remote General Movements Assessment in an Italian cohort of 199 infants, including at-risk and healthy term infants.
2

High engagement was observed, with 91.9% of families downloading the app and 91.5% submitting at least one video for assessment.
3

The mean number of uploaded videos was 4.3, with families of healthy term infants submitting more videos than those of at-risk infants.
4

Parental survey data indicated high usability and acceptability of the app, with challenges primarily related to connectivity and infant state.
5

The study supports the feasibility of integrating app-based GMA into early neurodevelopmental pathways in Italy, addressing geographical barriers.
