Automated tool to measure ICU delirium severity
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a computerized tool that automatically measures how severe delirium (sudden confusion) is for ICU patients. Researchers want to see if it can help monitor and manage delirium better without adding extra work for nurses.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years or older.
- You are expected to stay in the ICU for more than 24 hours.
- You were not admitted for alcohol or drug problems (overdose, withdrawal).
- You were not admitted for a sudden brain injury.
- You can communicate in English and don't have severe sensory problems like blindness or deafness that would prevent talking to the study team.

This study tests how well a special brain-monitor (EEG) can be used to assess delirium in people in the ICU. It may help improve delirium detection and monitoring in critically ill patients.
This study is testing a new way to predict if patients in the ICU will develop confusion and disorientation (called delirium). By participating, you help doctors spot early signs and possibly prevent delirium, which can be distressing.
This study looks at “delirium,” a sudden confusion that can happen during critical care, in people receiving ICU treatment for stroke. It includes both adults and children in specific ICU settings and may help clinicians better prevent or manage confusion during recovery.
This trial uses a camera system to see if it can detect delirium (a sudden confused state) in ICU patients with brain or nerve conditions. By watching your face, the technology aims to help doctors recognize and treat delirium earlier.
This trial tests whether a set of different care steps in the ICU can help prevent delirium, a sudden episode of confusion. It may help people who are at higher risk because they will likely need ICU care for more than a day.
This study uses a special cap (EEG) to watch brain activity and help doctors spot delirium earlier in hospital patients. It might help your care team better understand and manage confusion during your stay.
