New handheld scanner could speed up brain diagnosis at bedside
NCT ID NCT07223827
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a portable, handheld device that can quickly check brain and nerve function at the patient's bedside. Researchers will compare its diagnostic accuracy to standard tests like MRI and EEG in 30 adults with neurological symptoms. The goal is to see if this device can help doctors make faster treatment decisions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- handheld electro-diagnostic device (POC EEG)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could allow doctors to quickly diagnose neurological conditions at the bedside, potentially speeding up treatment and improving outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants. The device is a prototype and may not be as accurate as standard diagnostic methods.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients 18 years old or above * Seen inpatient or in outpatient service at IU Health facilities - Methodist Hospital, and the Neuroscience Center, by a Neurology and/or Neurosurgery consultant as part of their SOC. * The participant has capacity to sign consent or has an assigned LAR (Legally Authorized Representative - Spouse, parent, sibling, etc.) able to consent on their behalf. Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant woman * PI unblinded by participant or LAR regarding indication or clinical data * Burns or extensive skin lesions * Implanted stimulation devices (any) * Participant without standard imaging and, or other paraclinical SOC investigations to be comparable to the POC investigational device acquired data. * Significant acute or chronic medical, neurologic, or other illness in the patient that, in the judgment of the PI, could compromise subject safety, limit the ability to complete the study, and/or compromise the objectives of the study.
