The Classification of Movement in Infants for the Autonomous Monitoring of Neurological Development (2023)
Journal Article
Turner, A., Hayes, S., & Sharkey, D. (2023). The Classification of Movement in Infants for the Autonomous Monitoring of Neurological Development. Sensors, 23(10), Article 4800. https://doi.org/10.3390/s23104800

Neurodevelopmental delay following extremely preterm birth or birth asphyxia is common but diagnosis is often delayed as early milder signs are not recognised by parents or clinicians. Early interventions have been shown to improve outcomes. Automati... Read More about The Classification of Movement in Infants for the Autonomous Monitoring of Neurological Development.
