Validating the Accuracy of the ‘Measurement of Baby's Head Shape™’ Mobile Application
In Japan, positional cranial deformities (PCD) have received limited attention. At present, objective evaluation of the severity of cranial deformity requires specialized equipment and software that are not suitable for screening. The ‘Measurement of a baby's head shape™’ (Japan Medical Company) application quantifies plagiocephaly and brachycephaly ...
