Spread the loveHave you ever marveled at the incessant movements of infants? Those seemingly pointless swiping at nothing in particular? Well, those spontaneous movements are a dead giveaway of an infant’s stage of development. And scientists are analyzing these movements with the help of sensors and machine learning algorithms to predict whether an infant will have developmental delays. Developmental delays can be due to heredity, problems with pregnancy, or premature birth. The problem is that developmental delays are often diagnosed late, which also means that appropriate treatment is delayed. Early intervention is crucial, though. According to the Centers for Disease … Continue reading Using Machine Learning to Predict Developmental Delays in Children
