Voice-cloning care to reduce anxiety in ICU patients
This trial tests whether using a cloned voice of a family member can help reduce anxiety for patients on breathing machines in the intensive care unit (ICU). It may provide comfort by letting patients hear a familiar voice while they are ventilated.

This trial tests whether virtual reality (VR) activities can reduce delirium—new, sudden confusion—in people staying in the ICU. It may help patients feel clearer and more oriented during a longer ICU stay.
This study tests whether a special sound played through earphones can help prevent delirium (confusion and disorientation) in older ICU patients who need a breathing tube. The goal is to see if this safe, non-drug approach can reduce confusion during intensive care.
This study tests a special app called VoiceLove that helps patients in the ICU who are on a breathing machine communicate with their family and care team. The goal is to reduce confusion and improve connection and satisfaction for everyone involved.
This trial tests if a digital therapy called VoiceLove can help prevent or treat delirium (sudden confusion) in patients recovering from major surgery in the ICU. It also involves family members and care teams in the therapy.
This study tests a way to help patients in the intensive care unit who are on a breathing machine communicate better. The goal is to see if it improves care and reduces frustration for you and your family.
This study tests whether using a speaking valve early during ventilator weaning helps improve communication, reduce depression, and enhance quality of life. It might help you feel more in control and connected while you are coming off the ventilator.
