Paediatrics and AI – together for children
Kid AID is a research and development project combining the experience of clinicians from the Medical University of Wrocław with the AI engineering competences of Animativ Health.
What matters to us
Child safety
The youngest patients are at the centre of every design decision – both in terms of technology and ethics.
Clinical collaboration
We combine the experience of paediatricians, AI engineers, researchers and designers in one team with a common goal.
Trust and compliance
We process data in accordance with GDPR, and the system is designed with MDR regulations in mind.
Our goal
The aim of the project is to create a multimodal AI system that supports doctors in assessing the general condition of children aged 0–30 months – a group where early clinical assessment is the most difficult and most critical.
- Objectification of the doctor's clinical observations
- Training of medical staff in paediatrics
- Building the largest Polish paediatric database
- Implementation of a system certified as a medical device
Responsible AI in paediatric medicine
Kid AID is designed with full respect for the privacy of children and their families and in accordance with the highest standards of medical research ethics.
Our approach to data
Privacy protection
Data processing is subject to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Polish personal data protection legislation.
Pseudonymisation
Data does not contain information enabling direct identification of the patient.
Encryption
Data stored and transmitted in an encrypted manner.
Access control
Access only for authorised members of the research team.
Minimisation
We collect only the data necessary to achieve the project's objectives.
Right to erasure
Guardians may withdraw consent and request deletion of data at any time.
Security audit
Regular reviews of security measures and data protection procedures.
Regulatory framework
MDR – Medical devices
The regulatory qualification and classification of Kid AID system components will be conducted in accordance with MDR, taking into account the intended purpose and manner of use of individual modules.
AI Act – Artificial intelligence
The project is implemented taking into account the requirements of the AI Act. AI systems intended for medical purposes may be subject to requirements concerning risk management, data quality, user information and human oversight.
MDR classification influences whether a given AI component qualifies as a high-risk system within the meaning of the AI Act.
Human oversight
Decision belongs to the doctor
No module of the Kid AID system takes autonomous clinical decisions. AI provides supporting information, but the final decision always belongs to the doctor.
Algorithms are supervised
AI algorithms are validated on clinical data, tested under controlled conditions, subject to continuous performance monitoring and verified by the medical team.
Limitations are communicated
On every product subpage we inform about the system status, functional limitations, areas of uncertainty and conditions for correct use.
Responsible management
Transparency
We communicate openly about what the system does, what it does not do and what development status it is in.
Data quality
Training data comes from real clinical cases, collected in a standardised way across three centres.
Limitations
We openly communicate known limits of the system. Kid AID is not a diagnostic tool.
Continuous oversight
Algorithms undergo regular validation and evaluation, monitored by the medical and scientific team.
Purpose
The system is designed exclusively to support medical staff, not to make autonomous decisions.
Frequently asked questions
Will my child be recorded?
Yes, if you give your consent. The recording lasts approximately 60 seconds and is made during a routine examination.
How is my child's data protected?
All data is pseudonymised and encrypted. Access is restricted to authorised members of the research team.
Can I withdraw consent?
Yes, at any time. Your child's data will be deleted from the database.
Who will see the recording?
Recordings are used exclusively for scientific and educational purposes within the Kid AID project.
