Eye-tracking tool for kids who cannot speak well
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests an eye-tracking technology that lets children communicate by using where they look on a screen. It may help children with severe communication needs do tasks and use simple functions without needing speech or hand control.
