An App-Based Platform to Support Early Identification and Management of Children at Risk of Developing Neurodevelopmental Impairments in Community Settings

In developing countries, more than 200 million children under five years fail to reach their developmental and cognitive potential. Early identification and intervention for children at risk of neurodevelopmental impairments can make the difference between lifelong disability and fulfillment of developmental potential. However, access to such care is non-existent in rural communities. This project seeks to bridge this access gap through mobile phone technology that will empower lay health workers to identify at-risk children and to support families with intervention opportunities for timely management and care.
