Infant Wearable Uses Artificial Intelligence for At-Home Assessments

During the first two years of life, the motor development of children is monitored closely, as motion is the natural base for their other development and interaction with the environment. Current methods do not allow accurate developmental monitoring throughout early childhood. MAIJU (Motor Assessment of Infants with a Jumpsuit) is designed to solve these problems. Read on to learn more about it.

AI Detects Dizziness, Balance Disorders Remotely

Most current AI models are based on static datasets, limiting their adaptability and real-time diagnostic potential. To address this gap, researchers have developed a novel proof-of-concept deep learning model that leverages real-time data to assist in diagnosing nystagmus — a condition characterized by involuntary, rhythmic eye movements often linked to vestibular or neurological disorders.
