FebRUARY 2022 to December 2025

World Vision International, in partnership with World Vision Canada, World Vision South Korea, and the University of Toronto, is evaluating an innovative laser device designed to measure the height and length of young children. The study focuses on acceptability, durability, accuracy, and feasibility of the device when used in decentralised growth monitoring and promotion in Viet Nam.

This evaluation will contribute to understanding the potential for digital tools to enhance child growth tracking in community settings.
