Study summary

This is a data collection and machine learning accuracy testing project that aims to a) collect training data to enhance, by machine learning, an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm for measuring length in infants and young children and b) test the accuracy of the AI algorithm by comparing the AI predicted length with the gold standard measured length. Images and videos will be collected by care givers and healthcare professionals, together with physical length measurements. These data will be used to train the AI algorithm and to explore potential improvements. Other data to be collected is user experience feedback.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Infants/young children aged 0 to 24 months old at enrolment; 2. Caregiver(s) have access to the internet and a smartphone or tablet to complete questionnaires, take images and videos, and upload these; 3. Written informed consent from one or both caregivers (according to local laws) or legally acceptable representative(s) aged ≥ 18 years at enrolment. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Children unable to undergo length or weight measurements when applying standardized techniques recommended by the WHO (e.g. infants/children with structural abnormalities of the lower limbs or orthopaedic conditions (e.g. club foot, hip dysplasia)). 2. Research staff's uncertainty about the caregiver's ability or willingness to complete the study according to the instructions

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Accuracy length AI — Date of enrolment, at baseline
    Accuracy of the Length AI vs length gold standard (WHO methodology with length board in cm) assessed using several different parameters: the bias (cm), agreement and reliability measures, mean absolute error (cm), mean absolute percentage error (%), percentiles of the absolute error (cm), and root mean square error (cm).
  • Accuracy caregiver length — Date of enrolment, at baseline
    Accuracy of the caregiver measured length (own preferred methodology in cm) vs gold standard measured length (WHO methodology with length board in cm), assessed by same parameters as mentioned in the first primary outcome measure.
  • Accuracy caregiver vs AI length — Date of enrolment, at baseline
    Accuracy of the caregiver measurements (self preferred methodology in cm) vs Length AI by same parameters as mentioned in the first primary outcome measure.
