Can High-Tech goggles spot concussions in the ER?
NCT ID NCT03539848
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a portable goggle system with eye-tracking technology can accurately diagnose mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in community settings like emergency rooms. Researchers enrolled 120 adults aged 18-50 who had a head injury with symptoms. The goal was to see if the goggles could reliably detect mTBI and measure recovery time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- I-PAS goggles (portable head-mounted display with eye-tracking)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a quick, portable tool for diagnosing mild traumatic brain injury in urgent care or emergency rooms.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with 120 participants, so results may not apply to all settings or injury types. The device may not be accurate enough for widespread use.
