This is the validation study done with 900 children (ages 0–6 years) in Hyderabad, Telangana in hospitals, paediatric clinics and government-run anganwadi centres. The study demonstrates that NeuroNurture delivers screening results equivalent to the gold-standard DP-3 assessment — in a fraction of the time, at a fraction of the cost, and accessible to community health workers rather than requiring certified specialists.
NeuroNurture achieved an 88.2% agreement rate with DP-3 across 900 paired assessments. The result is statistically non-inferior, meaning NeuroNurture performs equivalently to the gold standard — while being 3× faster, available in Telugu, and deployable by community health workers in both clinic and aanganwadi settings.
