New treatment option for PTSD - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Official title REVEAL Study - Diagnostic Testing for PTSD Using the Senseye Diagnostic Tool
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07280065
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The goal of the REVEAL PTSD study is to test how well the Senseye DT works as a diagnostic test for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in adults 18 and older who are experiencing one or more symptoms that might be related to PTSD. The Senseye DT is software as a medical device (SaMD) and is an iPhone app that administers a series of simple tasks on the phone while recording video during the tasks through the front-facing camera.
