The In-Motion application and remote medical monitoring

We have previously developed an application (the In-Motion app), for use on parents' smartphones so that we could test whether the child can be filmed in their own home environment.

The videos were sent from the parents' smartphone to a server at St. Olav's Hospital, and the experts were able to examine the child's movements in the movie. This project has shown that a simple instructional video that parents can watch, is useful for good quality home filming.

We have applied the lessons we learned from this project to another solution, which you can read about in the next section.

Remote medical monitoring

Our researchers have an ongoing service innovation project (2019-2025) to develop an infrastructure, so that videos of infants can be performed in the hospitals that follow up sick newborns at all specialist health care hospitals in Central Norway (St. Olavs Hospital, Ålesund Hospital and Levanger Hospital). The aim is that videos can be performed at each hospital, stored and examined by the expert team in the GMA method at St. Olavs Hospital.

HEMIT (Helse Midt-Norge IT), the IT organization at St. Olav's Hospital, has worked with our researchers to develop a tailor-made solution for submitting video files from parents with premature babies. A system was set up in collaboration with CheckWare. It included, among other things, automatic messages using SMS to parents, and opportunities to receive training materials digitally. Customer story from CheckWare.

Through the project, we want to evaluate whether early prediction of CP can be performed with GMA for all such patients in the health region, even though the expertise is physically located in Trondheim. The project is a good example of service innovation with medical distance follow-up, to provide an equal health service in the region, regardless of residence and locally available expertise.
