Glasses that see seizures coming: new wearable aims to predict epilepsy attacks
NCT ID NCT07139457
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a pair of smart glasses called NEXA that can read brain signals through dry electrodes. The glasses aim to predict epileptic seizures in real time and alert the wearer with vibrations, lights, or sounds. Researchers will test the device on 47 adults with epilepsy to see if it can detect seizures with at least 95% accuracy in everyday settings.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Wearable seizure prediction and alert glasses (NEXA glasses)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, these glasses could give people with epilepsy a reliable early warning before a seizure, improving safety and quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with only 47 participants in Oman. The device is not yet approved and may not work as well in broader, real-world use.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Adults (≥18 years) with a confirmed epilepsy diagnosis by a neurologist or epilepsy specialist. * History of active seizures within the last year, under stable treatment (medications, VNS, diet, or surgery) for at least 3 months. * Capacity to provide informed consent (or via legal representative if cognitively impaired). * Willingness to participate and sign consent. * Residents of Oman attending Khoula Hospital or affiliated clinics. * Stable general health without acute or severe comorbidities. * Ability and willingness to attend study visits and follow protocols. Exclusion Criteria: * Seizures from non-epileptic causes (e.g., psychogenic, metabolic, tumors). * Under 18 years of age. * Severe cognitive impairment preventing consent or protocol adherence. * Pregnant or planning pregnancy during the study. * Severe uncontrolled medical conditions (e.g., heart disease, cancer). * History of non-compliance with epilepsy treatment or follow-ups. * Severe psychiatric disorders affecting participation or safety. * History of substance abuse interfering with study adherence. * Known allergies or hypersensitivity to study medications or procedures.
