Eye tracking to find thinking problems after ICU care
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses eye-tracking technology to help doctors spot thinking and memory problems early in people who have recently recovered from a serious illness in the intensive care unit (ICU). By watching how your eyes move during simple tasks, the study aims to find potential cognitive issues sooner, so you can get the right support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been in the intensive care unit (ICU) for at least 24 hours and recently moved to a regular hospital room.
- You need to be awake and able to cooperate with simple tests (like answering questions and watching a screen).
- You must be willing to join the study and sign a consent form.
- You cannot have been diagnosed with memory problems (like Alzheimer's) or a mental illness before your ICU stay.
- You must not have severe vision or hearing problems, or a brain condition (like a stroke) that would make the tests difficult to complete.

This study looks at how inflammation and genetics affect thinking and emotional recovery after a serious illness requiring ICU care. It aims to find ways to predict who may need more support during recovery.
This study uses a small device (accelerometer) to track your movement after leaving the ICU. It aims to see if monitoring physical activity can help improve recovery for patients at higher risk of setbacks.
This study follows people who have stayed in an intensive care unit (ICU) to understand long-term effects of ICU treatment. It may help improve future care plans by identifying problems that last after leaving the ICU.
This study looks at whether certain molecules in the blood (metabolic signatures) are linked to how well people recover physically after a serious illness requiring intensive care. By understanding these links, doctors might be able to better predict and support recovery.
This study tests whether guided eye movement exercises can help improve thinking and memory problems in people with schizophrenia or those at high risk. It compares different groups to see who might benefit.
This study tests a tool that helps patients in the ICU who cannot speak or communicate normally. It uses eye-tracking technology to let patients select words or phrases with their eyes, so they can express needs or feelings more easily. This might help reduce frustration and improve communication with doctors, nurses, and family members.
