An observational study in Iron Deficiencies, sponsored by Danone Asia Pacific Holdings Pte, Ltd.. Completed at 3 sites in Côte d’Ivoire. Open to participants aged 6 Months to 6 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-02-04.
Sponsored by Danone Asia Pacific Holdings Pte, Ltd. (part of Danone) · Observational
An exploratory study to collect data to build artificial intelligence derived algorithms for estimating iron status in African children
This is an exploratory, observational, pilot study that aims to build and measure the accuracy of an algorithm that estimates a child's iron status using images and/or videos, against standard venous blood sampling. Images and/or videos will be collected by healthcare professionals, together with blood test results. This data will be used to evaluate the accuracy of the algorithm and to explore potential improvements. Data on the acceptance and experience of the using the algorithm will be collected for improvements.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).
Hemoglobin (Hb)
The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).
Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Approximately 120 children aged above 6 months old and below 6 years of age across potential study sites. Subjects will be grouped by haemoglobin (Hb) level ranging from \<6 g/dL to ≥ 14.0 g/dL.
Diagnostic Test: Standard blood test · Other: Imaging and videography of anatomical sites
Blood test will measure haemoglobin and other parameters
Images and videos of anatomical sites will be collected to develop algorithms to estimate iron status
Accuracy of the Iron digital tool in estimating hemoglobin level as compared to standard blood test.
Mean absolute error (MAE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and Mean Square Error (MSE) will be calculated for accuracy
Time frame: 1 day
To evaluate Iron Questionnaire (IronQ)'s performance in estimating risk of iron intake deficiency as compared to dietary intake from 24-hour recall diary
Correlation Coefficient will be calculated to measure the strength and direction of association between iron intake estimated by IronQ and the 24-hour recall.
Time frame: 2 days
Parental acceptability of the Iron digital tool
Parental acceptability of the Iron digital tool assessed via the study questionnaire \[Accuracy, Usefulness, Frequency of usage, Data sharing\] on a scale of 1-5 (1 being the least acceptable and 5 being the most acceptable)
Time frame: 1 day
Investigator's (or delegates) acceptability of Iron digital tool
Investigators (or delegates) likelihood of using the Iron digital tool assessed via the study questionnaire \[Ease of taking images/videos, accuracy, frequency of use, recommendation to parents\] on a scale of 1- 5 (1 being the least acceptable and 5 being the most acceptable)
Time frame: 1 day
Plan to share: No
