VR diagnosis: the future of brain health testing?
NCT ID NCT07268079
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a virtual reality (VR) platform called VIRADIA can accurately assess neurological and cognitive functions like memory, balance, and coordination. Researchers will compare VR test results with standard paper or in-person tests in 200 healthy volunteers and patients with neurological disorders. If proven reliable, VR could offer a more engaging and standardized way to diagnose conditions like Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis.
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 provide a safe, standardized, and engaging way to diagnose neurological conditions using virtual reality.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early validation study with 200 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The VR tests might not match traditional methods perfectly.

Who is studied
Adults aged 18-80 years, including healthy volunteers and patients with neurological diagnoses recruited from outpatient neurology clinics and community sources in Nitra, Slovakia. Participants are screened for eligibility, provide informed consent, and complete both standard and Virtual Reality versions of diagnostic tests.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18-80 years. * Ability to provide informed consent. * Adequate vision and hearing to complete testing. * For the neurological group: confirmed diagnosis of a neurological disorder (e.g., Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, or similar). * For the control group: no history of neurological or psychiatric disease. Exclusion Criteria: * Severe cognitive impairment (MMSE \< 24 or equivalent clinical judgment). * Acute neurological or psychiatric condition interfering with testing. * Severe motor disability preventing task performance (e.g., inability to use VR controller). * Current substance abuse. * Uncorrected visual impairment or vestibular disorder leading to intolerance of VR.
