Artificial Intelligence-based Video Analysis to Detect Infantile Spasms

Description

Infantile spasms are a type of seizure linked to developmental issues. Unfortunately, they are often misdiagnosed, causing delays in treatment. The purpose of this study is to develop a computer program that can reliably differentiate infantile spasms from similar, yet benign movements in videos. This computer program will learn from videos taken by parents of study participants. Quickly recognizing and treating infantile spasms is crucial for ensuring the best developmental outcomes.
