Problem
Positional plagiocephaly and other head shape abnormalities in newborns often go undetected due to the lack of accessible, accurate, and repeatable measurement tools for early screening and monitoring. Traditional methods rely on manual calipers or expensive 3D scanners, limiting widespread adoption and timely intervention.
Solution
PediaMetrix offers SoftSpot™, an FDA-cleared mobile application that leverages AI and computer vision to provide cranial measurements for infants. The app enables parents and pediatricians to capture and upload photos or videos of an infant's head, generating a report that assesses cranial indices related to conditions like plagiocephaly and brachycephaly. SoftSpot™ facilitates early detection and monitoring of head shape abnormalities, allowing for timely intervention and management. The application is designed for both at-home and in-office use, providing a convenient and reliable solution for cranial measurements.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes parents of newborns concerned about head shape abnormalities and pediatricians seeking a reliable and accessible tool for early detection and monitoring of cranial conditions.
