Abstract

We assessed the feasibility of obtaining parent-collected General Movement Assessment videos using the Baby Moves app. Among 261 participants from 4 Chicago NICUs, 70% submitted videos. Families living in higher areas of childhood opportunity used the app more than those from areas of lower opportunity.

Keywords: NICU follow-up; childhood opportunity index; general movement assessment; infant assessment; pediatric telehealth.
