Abstract

Many studies1,2 have indicated that early detection, early intervention and treatment lead to a favorable prognosis for child illnesses and disabilities, the slightest signs of which, in reality, are often overlooked. There are mobile application for screening Autisum,3 or for tracking growth of extremely preterm or extremely low birthweight infants.4 “Mamin” specifically records daily child development, enabling earliest screening of and intervention for developmental abnormality.

Keywords: disabilities, the slightest signs of which, in reality
