Virtual assistant to help people with low vision in daily tasks
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests a virtual assistant that gives audio and touch feedback to help people with low vision do everyday tasks. It hopes to show the assistant can improve brain activity and daily functioning compared to usual care.
