Telemedicine checkups for ear infections in babies and toddlers
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Infections, Lungs & breathing, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether using telemedicine (video visits) with a special ear camera in primary care can help manage ear infections in babies and toddlers. It may make it easier to check your child's ears without an in-person visit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 months and 23 months old (under 2 years).
- Your child must get their primary care at one of the participating study clinics.
- Your child must have had at least one ear infection diagnosed by a doctor, either now or in the past.
- An adult who is the child's parent or legal guardian must be available to give permission (consent) in English or Spanish.
- Your household must have a smartphone that can work with a special ear scope used for remote check-ups.
- Your child cannot have had ear tubes placed or have any face or ear birth defects, and no other child in the same household can already be in the study.

This study tests a new way to describe chronic ear infections in children using a smartphone camera to take pictures of the inside of the ear. The goal is to help doctors better understand and treat ear infections, especially in communities with limited resources.
This study tests ways to help doctors avoid prescribing antibiotics when they are not needed for children with ear infections. If you are a parent of a child diagnosed with an ear infection or a healthcare provider, you may be able to join different parts of the study.
This trial tests whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help doctors decide when antibiotics are not needed for young children with colds. It aims to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.
This study teaches parents how to use a special phone camera tool to spot ear infections (acute otitis media, or AOM) at home. Researchers want to see if parents can reliably identify these infections early, which might help avoid unnecessary doctor visits or catch problems sooner.
This study tests whether a training app and AI help doctors diagnose ear infections more accurately. If you have ear pain or symptoms, you may be able to join.
This study tests an app that helps doctors check kids with asthma or common ear/nose/throat problems. It’s for children who get care at the University of Arizona and have a device to run the app.
