Job Description

Brief Description about the Project

There is a high incidence of neurodevelopmental problems in neonates requiring NICU care. An early screening in the 1st 3 months of life is important to mitigate problems due to abnormal development. General Movements Assessment (GMA) is an easy, time-saving, non-intrusive, cheap method compared to MRI or other neurologic tests. It is also sensitive and specific. GMA can only be performed by certified and trained assessors which leads to limited availability and can restrict accessibility of this tool in remote areas. Thus, automating GMA would aid increased screening rates, scalability, standardisation, accuracy, and cost- effectiveness.


The project involves acquiring high quality videos of high risk neonates, annotating them and developing an app that will automatically characterize them as normal or abnormal
