Assessing a Length Artificial Intelligence Algorithm to Estimate Length of Children

Completed

• Conditions: Growth; Stunting, Nutritional
• Interventions: Other: Physical length measurement

• Registration Number: NCT05079776
• Lead Sponsor: Danone Asia Pacific Holdings Pte, Ltd.

Brief Summary

An exploratory study to explore the possibility of using computer vision algorithms to estimate a child's length using images taken by a healthcare professional or parents.

Detailed Description

This is an exploratory, observational, pilot study that aims to evaluate the performance of a Length Artificial Intelligence (LAI) algorithm in a real world setting. Images will be collected by parents or healthcare professionals, together with physical length measurements. This data will be used to evaluate the accuracy of the algorithm and to explore potential improvements. Data on the acceptance and experience of the using the algorithm will be collected for improvements.
