Eye-Tracking Interaction System for Non-verbal ICU Patients

Application of an Eye-Tracking Interaction System for Non-verbal ICU Patients Based on Co-Design Principles: A Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial With an Embedded Qualitative Study

• Status: Not Yet Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 60 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The objectives of this clinical trial are to explore the feasibility of the eye-tracking interactive system in improving communication disorders among non-verbal ICU patients. It will also preliminarily investigate the effectiveness of this system in facilitating communication for these patients. Researchers will compare the eye-tracking interactive system with traditional augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) technologies (such as body language, writing boards, etc.) to observe the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of the eye-tracking interactive system in improving communication disorders. Participants will: * Use augmentative and alternative communication technologies daily * Have detailed records of every communication interaction

Conditions

• Communication Barriers
• Eye-tracking Technology
• ICU Patients
