Job Description

Project Staff Nurse I-ICMR-GMA Division Non Division User Contact Person HR Job Details Brief Description about the Project There is a high incidence of neurodevelopmental problems in neonates requiring NICU care. An early screening in the 1st 3 months of life is important to mitigate problems due to abnormal development. General Movements Assessment(GMA) is an easy, time-saving, non-intrusive, cheap method compared to MRI or other neurologic tests. It is also sensitive and specific. GMA can only be performed by certified and trained assessors which leads to limited availability and can restrict accessibility of this tool in remote areas. Thus, automating GMA would aid increased screening rates, scalability, standardisation, accuracy, and cost- effectiveness. The project involves acquiring high quality videos of high risk neonates, annotating them and developing an app that will automatically characterize them as normal or abnormal Project Staff Nurse Position Starting: 1st April 2025 No. of Vacancy: One Preferred Qualifications: BSC/ MSC ( nursing) in Pediatrics/ OBG, GNM, BSc/ Bcom/ B pharm /BE Salary: Rs 23,400/- Language : English , Kannada, Tamil, Telegu Experience: Freshers are also acceptable Last Day for Receiving Application: 21th March, 2025 Location: Bangalore Roles and Responsibilities : Build rapport with parents by counselling , assistance to encourage follow-up Consent for videos Video acqusition Home visitation for videos in case of drop-out.
