About this study

Official title: Device for Monitoring Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

This study involves user acceptability and feedback of KalEYEdoscope, a digital, handheld device utilizing shape-discrimination hyperacuity to distinguish the severity of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Read the detailed description

This is a patient-experience study being conducted at the Kellogg Eye Center in Ann Arbor in the outpatient setting. Patients who agree to enroll in the study will test the device and provide user feedback via a questionnaire as well as complete questionnaires about their visual function. The preliminary study looks at the usability of using this device for monitoring of age-related macular degeneration, obtaining user feedback to enhance the design. In the future, developing such a device for home monitoring of macular degeneration may increase access to timely treatment to prevent vision loss.

To gather user feedback on a digital, non-invasive, handheld device in the outpatient AMD patient population, with the goal of developing a user-friendly, portable device to monitor AMD progression, this study assesses the usability, comfort, duration, ergonomics, and ease of use of the device among AMD patients in a single session.

Data collected during the test may include but is not limited to the length of the test, boot time, screen transition time. The participants will then fill out the Visual Function Questionnaire-25, the System Usability Scale (SUS), and may include targeted questions designed by the study team to evaluate the participant experience with the device and visual function.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. System usability scale

    Obtain user feedback via a questionnaire and evaluate the usability of using this device.

    Measured: immediate during a single office visit - generally 5- 15 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. National Eye Institute Visual function questionnaire (NEI VFQ 25)

    Participants complete 25-question questionnaire about their visual function.

    Measured: immediate during a single office visit - generally 5- 15 minutes

  2. Participant Experience Survey

    Participants complete 8 qualitative questions with a Likert scale about the device and using the device.

    Measured: immediate during a single office visit - generally 5- 15 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Age-Related Macular Degeneration, run by University of Michigan at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

System usability scale (time frame: immediate during a single office visit - generally 5- 15 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Dec 2023.
