Connected glasses for communication in intensive care
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether special connected glasses can help people in the intensive care unit who cannot speak. If you are an adult in the ICU, unable to talk for at least two days, but are awake and can use your hands, you may be eligible.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Be hospitalized in the intensive care unit at Tenon Hospital

- Be awake and able to understand and answer questions (not deeply sedated or confused)
- Be able to use your dominant arm and hand to write or point

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 looks at how doctors, nurses, and other healthcare team members talk with patients and their families in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to improve understanding and support for everyone involved.
This trial tests whether seeing real-time lung visuals on a screen can help doctors feel less mental strain and make faster, more accurate diagnoses while using a ventilator. Participating doctors will practice in two realistic simulation sessions about two weeks apart.
This trial tests if a brain-computer implant can help people with locked-in syndrome communicate by reading brain signals related to speech. It is for people who are stable, can move their eyes enough to read, and have no major hearing or thinking problems.
This trial tests an eye-tracking system to help ICU patients who cannot talk due to breathing tubes or injuries communicate with their caregivers. It may offer a new way for patients to express needs without speaking.
This trial tests a special eye-tracking tool that helps patients in the ICU communicate when they cannot speak. If you have a breathing tube or injury that stops you from talking, this device may let you use your eyes to tell nurses what you need.
