There is a high incidence of neurodevelopmental problems in neonates requiring NICU care. An early screening in the first few months of life is important to mitigate problems due to abnormal development. General Movements Assessment (GMA) is one of the early identification tools which is non-invasive, evidence-based method used to assess spontaneous infant movements and identify infants at risk for neurodevelopmental problems. It also has high sensitivity and specificity metrics. GMA can only be performed by certified and trained assessors which leads to limited availability and restrict accessibility of this tool in remote areas. Thus, automating GMA would aid increased screening rates with the last phase of the study involving implementing Remote -GMA.

 The project involves acquiring high quality videos of high risk neonates, with secure transfer of videos for remote assessment.
