Summary

This trial will test if a virtual early intervention care delivery model can help infants with brain injury in their neurodevelopment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for infants with brain injuries related to oxygen deprivation at birth, specifically those who have had abnormal movements by 12 weeks old, were born after 34 weeks of pregnancy, received cooling therapy, are followed by the Neonatal Follow-Up Clinic at SickKids, and have an abnormal brain MRI. Infants must also be diagnosed with moderate to severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. Those with genetic syndromes, not living with biological parents post-discharge, limited English fluency or no internet can't participate.
What is being tested?
The study tests a virtual care model over five years to see if it improves development in infants with brain injury from lack of oxygen at birth. It's a randomized controlled trial comparing usual care against this new virtual intervention method while examining parental impact and cost-effectiveness.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves non-invasive virtual care rather than medication or surgery, traditional side effects are not expected. However, there may be indirect impacts on family dynamics or stress levels due to the nature of remote interactions.
