| Description |
Please join us for Infant Study Group on Monday, April 20, 2026 from 6:00 - 7:30pm CST at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab. We are excited to have Amanda Kwong, researcher and physical therapist from Melbourne, present her talk on the BabyMoves app.
Amanda is a post-doctoral research fellow in the Department of Physiotherapy at the University of Melbourne and Clinical Sciences at Murdoch Children's Research Institute. Amanda completed her PhD in 2019 investigating the feasibility of a smartphone app, Baby Moves, for recording baby movements that are assessed remotely using the General Movements Assessment. She has been involved with study coordination for high-risk infant movement screening for cerebral palsy (Knowledge Translation of Early Cerebral Palsy, KiTE CP study). With strong evidence supporting research use of the Baby Moves app in high-risk infant populations, Amanda is working towards progressing the Baby Moves app into a clinical tool that can be used to screen the movements of all newborn babies.
Amanda is a clinical physiotherapist at the Royal Women's Hospital with the Newborn Follow-up clinic and neonatal intensive care unit. She is also the chair of the communications committee of the Australasian Academy of Cerebral Palsy and Developmental Medicine (AusACPDM).
