Wearable Eye-Tracking Device as Means of Communication in the Critically Ill and Mechanically Ventilated Patient
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating EyeControl Eye-tracking Device for Acute Respiratory Failure Requiring Mechanical Ventilation. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of use of a wearable communication device for critically ill patients who are admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and mechanically ventilated. The study will assess the safety, tolerability, and ease of use of the EyeControl device, and examine its potential monitoring capabilities.

Timeline
Interventions
The EyeControl is a new, wearable, eye-tracking device that facilitates communication by means of internal feedback to the patients with a bone-conducting speaker. In this way, the device can ask the patient what he or she wants to say, and the patient replies by eye gestures such as blinking or moving the eyes in a certain direction. Once the patient is able to operate the device, it will stay on the patient for as long as she or he would like it on, or until the patient is successfully extubated or discharged from the ICU, whichever is earliest.
