This study is testing whether adding genetic and imaging information to standard risk assessments can better predict heart disease in 30,000 healthy Italian adults aged 40-80. Participants will have their risk calculated using traditional methods and then again with the added dat…

This study tests a new 4D microscope-integrated OCT system for the first time in people during eye surgery. Researchers want to see if the system is easy to use, safe, and can clearly show eye structures. Five adults having eye surgery will take part. The goal is to improve imagi…

This study is testing a virtual patient navigation program for 260 English, Chinese, or Spanish speakers with breast cancer or heart disease. The goal is to see if a phone-based portal can help underserved people get the support they need, even though it won't fully replace in-pe…

This study follows over 10,000 Moroccan adults for 10 years after a heart screening. Researchers will track heart attacks, strokes, and heart-related deaths to build a risk score tailored to the Moroccan population. The goal is to better predict and prevent heart disease in Moroc…

This study is building a biobank of blood and tissue samples from 500 patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Researchers will analyze these samples to better understand the causes and progression of heart disease. The goal is to improve future diagnosis and treatment, but no new th…

This study aims to create a database of eye images using a new holographic Doppler laser device. The goal is to better visualize and measure blood flow in the retina and choroid, which is important for diagnosing eye diseases. About 123 adults, both with and without eye condition…

This study gathers standard eye movement and pupil data from 200 healthy volunteers, children, and people with eye or brain conditions using a VR headset called neos™. The headset shows images and tracks where participants look, how their pupils react, and how their eyes move. Th…

This study looks at whether using a swallow gel or a semi-solid vehicle can help people with neurological conditions swallow pills more easily and safely. Researchers will observe 500 participants, including patients with swallowing disorders and healthy volunteers, as they swall…

This study is for people with diabetic macular edema, a condition that causes vision loss. Researchers want to see if certain substances in the blood and patterns on eye scans can predict how well a patient will respond to two common treatments: anti-VEGF injections or a dexameth…

This study aims to see if voice recordings from a smartphone can help detect heart disease. Researchers will collect voice samples and health data from up to 1 million adults using the Mayo Clinic app. No treatment is given; the goal is to gather information for future AI tools.

This study tests a special microscope that takes live 3D images inside the eye during surgery. It aims to help surgeons see better when treating conditions like retinal detachment, macular holes, and cataracts. About 262 people will take part, including healthy volunteers and sur…

This study tests a new, more comfortable eye camera (WiSLO) designed for children and adults. Researchers want to see if it takes better pictures and is less bothersome than current cameras. About 42 people with or without eye disease will have their eyes photographed with both t…

The SMILE study is tracking 10,000 adults aged 18 and older to see how sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) and metabolic diseases like diabetes influence overall health and lifespan. Researchers will collect data from medical records, tests, and surveys over time. This is an obs…

This study looks at how a cholesterol-regulating protein called LXR might protect the eyes in people with diabetic retinopathy. Researchers will take blood samples from 104 adults with or without diabetes to test how certain blood cells function. The goal is to understand the bio…

This study is testing whether a smartwatch, combined with artificial intelligence and remote doctor check-ins, can help detect heart issues like atrial fibrillation and unstable angina earlier than usual. Researchers at the University of Sao Paulo will enroll 520 adults with hear…

This study is observing 900 adults in Greece who have both chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and at least one heart condition. Researchers will track their health for two years, recording lung flare-ups, heart complications, hospital visits, and quality of life. The go…

This study follows 100 children under 18 who are already on a ketogenic diet for conditions like drug-resistant epilepsy, autism, chronic migraine, or brain tumors. Researchers want to see if the diet supports healthy growth, improves symptoms, and boosts quality of life. The die…
