BACKGROUND Although preterm infants born at 29 to 36 gestational weeks (GW) are at risk for developmental delay, they do not always benefit from systematic follow-up. Primary care physicians are then responsible for their developmental surveillance and need effective screening tests. This study aimed to determine whether the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) at 12 and 24 months' corrected ag...

In this paper, we describe the design considerations and implementation of a smart toy system, a technology for supporting the automatic recording and analysis for detecting developmental delays recognition when children play using the smart toy. To achieve this goal, we take advantage of the current commercial sensor features (reliability, low consumption, easy integration, etc.) to develop a ...

Little is known about the current practices of primary care physicians regarding developmental surveillance and screening during pediatric preventive care visits. We conducted a mailed survey of a random national sample of pediatricians and family physicians to describe their practices and identify factors that predict use of developmental screening tools, an efficacious way of identifying chil...
