What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 from the University of Southern California is testing new wearable sensors and AI software to measure mental states like mood and anxiety. Researchers will collect data from 90 healthy volunteers and epilepsy patients who already have brain electrodes implanted for medical reasons. Participants will interact with a virtual human and do a cold water test while sensors track their heart rate, sweat, and other signals. The goal is to develop better tools for understanding mental states, not to treat any condition.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better tools for monitoring mental states in real time, helping with early detection or management of mood disorders.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study with only 90 participants. The technology may not work as expected or may not apply to broader populations.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

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

About 90 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Aug 2024

Expected to finish

Nov 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

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 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

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.

For the healthy population, all subjects over the age of 18 who are able and willing to give informed consent will be eligible. For the epilepsy population, inclusion criteria are: * Patients who suffer from drug-resistant epilepsy and already have intracranial EEG (iEEG) electrodes implanted based on clinical criteria for their standard seizure localization (unrelated to our study) will be eligible. Most patients are healthy adults outside of their epilepsy. * Subjects \>= 18 are only included in this study. * All patients with the above conditions and with already-implanted electrodes who are willing to participate and able to cooperate and follow research instructions will be recruited.
