Smartphone App Detection for Retinoblastoma
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial is testing a smartphone app called CRADLE to help detect leukocoria in children. The app takes pictures of the eyes and looks for signs of this condition. It aims to improve early detection in kids who have or might have serious eye diseases.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It seems focused on using a smartphone app for detection, so it's unlikely to require changes to your medication.
Is the smartphone app for detecting retinoblastoma safe to use?
How does the smartphone app treatment for retinoblastoma differ from other treatments?
The smartphone app treatment for retinoblastoma is unique because it allows for early detection of the condition through a simple, non-invasive method using a smartphone camera to identify leukocoria (white pupil) in photographs. This approach is more accessible and affordable compared to traditional methods that require specialized equipment and healthcare professionals.12567
What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment CRADLE, White Eye Detector, ComputeR Assisted Detector of LEukocoria, Red reflex testing, Red Reflex Test, Ophthalmoscope Examination for detecting retinoblastoma?
Research shows that the CRADLE app, also known as the White Eye Detector, can identify leukocoria (white pupil) in photos, detecting eye disorders like retinoblastoma up to 1.3 years before diagnosis. This app, along with red reflex testing, helps in early detection, which is crucial for better outcomes.12358
