Reliability of the Telehealth Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination at 24 Months: A Prospective Counterbalanced Observational Study

Listen to this summary

This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and clinical agreement of the Telehealth Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination (HINE) compared to in-person assessments in term-born children aged 22-24 months. The results indicated that telehealth administration demonstrated acceptable agreement and reliability, allowing for effective neurologic surveillance when in-person evaluations are not feasible. The authors suggest further validation in younger, higher-risk populations is necessary before broader application of telehealth HINE.
