Brief summary
Early Moves aims to identify early biomarkers for babies at risk of cognitive impairment, allowing early intervention within critical developmental windows to enable these children to have the best possible start to life. In the Early Moves study, parents will use a smart-phone app called Baby Moves to video their babies General Movements (GMs), with automated scoring being developed through machine-learning. GMs are spontaneous movements of babies less than 3 months old and provide insight into the function of a baby’s brain. Infants in the study will be assessed cognitive impairment at age two years using a standardised test of toddler development. It is hypothesised that GMs are sufficiently predictive of cognitive impairment at two years to act as a reliable screening tool.
Interventions
Observational cohort study of 3000 babies born at Joondalup Health Campus, WA to identify if General Movements (GMs) are an early biomarker for cognitive impairment. All babies will have two GM assessments by four months corrected age, and followed until two years, when a full cognitive assessment will be conducted.
