BabyFace is a crowd-sourcing app that allows parents and guardians to upload photographs and anthropometric measures of their babies. It has been developed as part of the Gestational Age Estimation Tool to generate data.

The data collected with this app will be used as ground-truth to test the software developed as part of the Gestational Age Estimation Tool project. Ultimately, these data will help doctors estimate if a baby was born prematurely in places without ultrasound scans.

BabyFace was developed by Hyosun Known and Kevin Glover, members of the Mixed Reality Lab at the University of Nottingham.
