Development and Needs Assessment and Efficiency of Smart Communication System for Patients With ALS.

ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) Clinical Trial

Official title:
Development and Needs Assessment and Efficiency of Smart Communication System for Patients With ALS

Clinical Trial Summary

This project aims to develop a smart communication system for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), especially for stage 3 and stage 4 (late stage). Patients with ALS will be able to communicate with outer environment by means of mental control or eye tracking control, which would increase their life quality. This integrated research project includes experts from different domains and proposes a solution for smart communication system.

Clinical Trial Description

A multi-function brain- computer interface (BCI) communication system will be developed by combining a BCI system (subproject 1) and a 3D electro-cap (subproject 3). Then, this system and an eye-controlled device (subject 2) are further integrated to a smart communication system. The outputs of the system are presented with the original voice the ALS patients, which will be achieved by using the voice reconstruction technology (subproject 4) in this project. All the user-interfaces of the BCI and eye tracking systems will be re-deigned by employing human factors engineering to increase the usability of the proposed smart communication system for ALS. Finally, the validity of the system in improving the life quality of ALS will be assessed through clinical study. ;
