Cribsy Phase I: Successful pilot sets up clinical validation
Between mid-2024 and 2025, with support from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), Early Markers ran the first funded test of Cribsy: could parents at home, using nothing but a phone, produce the video an AI system needs to screen an infant for neuromotor risk, and could we take that screen to the communities that need it most? Here is what the Phase I project delivered. The platform A working app, in English and Spanish. Cribsy's beta was released as a web app and as native iOS and Android apps. Parents receive prompts, record short videos of their infant in set postures, and upload them from home. AI that reads infant movement . We built and tuned models for infant pose estimation and for classifying neuromotor risk from the resulting movement features, and an analysis pipeline that processes uploaded videos automatically. By the end of Phase I we had automated the retraining loop so the models can keep improving as da...
