Abstract
Purpose: To examine the factors that influence the usability of a video-based mobile application (app) by parents of infants born full-term and preterm. Methods and Procedures: This study enrolled 75 infants born full-term and 47 infants born preterm for the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) assessment at ages 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 months. Their parents were asked to upload home videos of AIMS items using the newly designed Baby Go app at ages 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 months. Information from the videos will be used for future artificial intelligence modeling. Infant and socioenvironmental variables were examined as potential influencing factors. Results: Eighty-two parents (67.2%) uploaded 1406 home videos. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that medical issues and the number of children were significantly associated with parental adherence to app use. Conclusions: Medical issues and having no siblings enhanced parental adherence to video uploading via the app. © 2025 Academy of Pediatric Physical Therapy of the American Physical Therapy Association.
