Using eye gaze technology for examining the gastrointestinal tract
Eye Gaze Technology for Endoscopic Inspection of the Gastrointestinal Tract
NA · Imperial College London · NCT06581718
This study is testing a new way to use eye gaze technology with a robotic endoscope to see if it can make examinations of the gastrointestinal tract easier and more accurate for patients needing routine checks.

What this trial studies
This study utilizes a robotic-controlled endoscope to perform examinations of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract in patients with routine upper GI endoscopic indications. The approach involves the use of eye gaze control technology to enhance the precision and effectiveness of the endoscopic inspection. A total of 10 patients will be enrolled following successful benchtop trials, allowing for a novel method of conducting endoscopic procedures.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults with routine upper gastrointestinal endoscopic indications.
Not a fit: Patients with varices, those under 18, individuals experiencing GI hemorrhage, or those with a performance status greater than 2 may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this technology could improve the accuracy and safety of gastrointestinal examinations for patients.
How similar studies have performed: While this approach is innovative, similar studies using robotic-assisted endoscopy have shown promise, indicating potential for success.
