Wearable eye-tracker aims to catch dizziness in the act
NCT ID NCT04026516
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a wearable device called CAVA that records eye and head movements for 30 days in people with dizziness conditions like Meniere's disease and BPPV. The goal is to see if the device can accurately detect episodes of nystagmus, an eye movement linked to dizziness, and help identify when dizzy events occur. Participants wear the device almost all day, and researchers compare the device's findings with reported dizzy episodes to measure its accuracy.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CAVA device, a wearable that records eye and head movements continuously for 30 days
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a reliable, home-based diagnostic tool for dizziness conditions, reducing the need for clinic visits.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is small and early-stage, and the device's accuracy in detecting nystagmus may not reach the target of 95%, or it may be uncomfortable for long-term wear.
