Communication sensors for people who can’t express needs clearly
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a wearable sensor system that may help people who have difficulty communicating their needs clearly. It may capture signals from the body so caregivers and devices can better understand reactions and needs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an intellectual disability, with or without autism and/or cerebral palsy.
- You are not able to communicate your needs and reactions clearly or reliably.
- You are able to use (or wear) a chest strap sensor during the study.
- You must not have had an allergic skin reaction to a chest strap.
- If you’ve had skin allergies or reactions to similar wearables, you may need extra screening before joining.

This study tests whether using a person’s heart rate to guide care can improve day-to-day support for autistic people who do not communicate verbally. It’s aimed at people who live in a care home or attend a staffed day program most days of the week.
This study tests new sensors that track movement while children and teens play a fun game. The goal is to see if these sensors work well for kids with different motor abilities, which could help improve therapy and assistive technology.
This trial tests a new wearable sensor worn on the body while you sleep. It checks if the sensor can collect helpful information about your sleep and health without needing to be in a sleep lab.
This trial tests a new, soft, wearable monitor that tracks your heart and body signs without wires or sticky pads. It aims to see if this device can help doctors diagnose and treat heart disease more comfortably.
This trial tests a new wearable sensor (like a smart bandage) that tracks your heart rate, breathing, and other vital signs continuously, compared to standard monitoring. It aims to see if this sensor is just as good at keeping an eye on you in busy hospital settings, potentially allowing more freedom of movement.
This trial tests wearable smart sensors that continuously track vital signs in children in the hospital (especially the ICU). It may help doctors watch changes sooner and learn how well the sensors work on children during care.
