KARVI

The KARVI application is a tool that helps parents and health professionals carry out a developmental assessment of a baby under one and a half years of age.

-Neurodevelopment Screening-

KARVI Scale is a screening test for healthy children in their first year and a half of life.

Screening tests determine the risks that babies have for

suffer from a disease, they are tools to determine if a baby is at risk of developing a certain disease, but - they are not considered tests

diagnostic or confirmatory.

KARVI is a test to evaluate the risk of probable neurodevelopmental delay and to evaluate the risk of later developing autism spectrum disorders in babies under one and a half years of age.

Probable risk of developmental delay

*Delay in Neuro-development

*Risk of hearing problems

*Risk of visual problems

*Early data (risk alerts) of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)

Directed

*Healthy babies

*Babies within their first year and a half of life.

They exclude

*Premature patients

*Babies over 1 and a half years of age

*Patients with a perinatal history that causes asphyxiation or some type of delay in neurodevelopment or growth (weight or height).

*Patients with congenital or acquired diseases that lead to developmental delay (genetic, neurological, motor, endocrinological, etc.)

-SAVE ME-

Designed and divided by five activities:

*SENSITIVE (Propioceptive, Fine Motor)

*AUDITORY

*VISUAL

*EMOTIONAL (Socio-affective)

*MOTOR (Coarse Engine)

*ASSESSMENT

Application Method

It is carried out through a questionnaire-type evaluation.

The application method for evaluating neurodevelopment, hearing or visual problems is through the evaluation of two achievements for each of

the activities in the month and are graded as Achieved or Not Achieved (leaving a total of ten achievements for each month, with five activities evaluated).

The application method for developing risk assessment

later autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is when he

baby completes all or most of the monthly evaluations (on reaching one and a half years of age), among the items of the monthly evaluations there are some classified as alerts, when evaluating the majority of them it gives us a probable risk evaluation (low , intermediate or high).

-Growth Evaluation.-

Within the application, the history of

baby's growth and is graphed according to the percentiles recommended by the

world health organization (WHO) and notifies us if the baby is within the normal percentiles or if it is outside of them, it also shows us the nutritional status of the baby (low weight, normal, overweight or obesity) with the graph weight/height percentile.
