Wearable Echolocation Device for Visual Impairment

Galveston, Texas
The objective of this study is to study a novel device designed to aid patients with impaired vision to safely navigate their environment. Subjects for this study will be individuals with normal vision, either with or without correction. The subjects will wear a device to simulate impaired vision and will be asked to walk a path with randomly placed obstacles during two trials. One of the trials will consist of the subject wearing the simulator alone. The other trial will consist of the subject wearing the simulator and the study device. The study device is designed to be worn by the study subject and will emit tones to indicate obstacles in the environment as the subject walks on the path with random obstacles. The tones will indicate that there is an obstacle in the individual's path and will increase in intensity as the subject moves closer to the object.Invest

VR Technology for Pupil Disorders

Galveston, Texas
The goal of this prospective reliability study is to test the effectiveness of a commercially available, off-the-shelf virtual reality head-mounted display (VR HMD) and machine learning (ML) algorithms in detecting Relative Afferent Pupillary Defect (RAPD) in a group of subjects with known RAPD and another group with no known RAPD. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the use of the VR HMD and ML to replace the standard of care swinging flashlight test provide a more reliable and objective pupil measurement to detect RAPD? * Can RAPD be detected by the VR HMD and ML algorithms at an earlier stage than the standard of care swinging light test? Participants will be asked to undergo the standard of care swinging flashlight test, have their pupils manually measured, then have the test repeated using the VR HMD and ML. Researchers will compare the measurements taken manually, following the standard of care swinging light test and those recorded by the VR HMD and ML to help answer the above questions.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."
