What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a smart computer simulation (digital twin) of Saudi streets to train visually impaired people on safe navigation. Participants use 3D audio and a vibrating vest to learn to avoid obstacles. The goal is to see if this high-tech training reduces real-world collisions compared to traditional mobility instruction.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Adaptive multi-modal digital twin navigation training (behavioral intervention using 3D spatial audio and haptic vest feedback)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a new, scalable way to train visually impaired people to navigate urban environments more safely and independently.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The training is intensive and may not suit all individuals.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

30 people

The number who actually took part.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 to 60 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Certified clinical diagnosis of severe visual impairment or legal blindness. * Aged between 18 and 60 years old. * Physical ability to walk independently and unassisted for at least 15 continuous minutes. * Cognitive and neurological competence to comprehend and interact with multi-modal software telemetry. * Baseline proficiency in using accessibility screen-reader features on mobile devices. Exclusion Criteria: * Profound sensorineural hearing loss or auditory dysfunction that prevents 3D spatial binaural sound localization. * Active upper or lower-limb motor neuropathies that disrupt the perception of haptic micro-actuator vibrations. * History of severe vestibular disorders, severe motion sickness, or inner ear syndromes causing chronic dizziness. * Current participation in concurrent physical orientation and mobility clinical trials.
