Sensors for Communication for Persons Who Cannot Communicate Unequivocally
The Use of Sensors to Improve Communication for Persons With Intellectual Disability Who Cannot Communicate Unequivocally
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 4 Jul 2025 · Not updated for over 12 months - ask the site whether it is still open
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Some persons with intellectual disability or comprehensive cerebral palsy cannot communicate unequivocally how they are, how they react to situations and people, whether they are in pain or experience discomfort, anger or fear. Their modes of communication (sounds, grimacing etc) may be unintelligible or ambiguous to their caregivers. With the use of heart and/or respiration monitors the investigators aim to give these persons a means to communicate their immediate reactions or responses. The respiration monitor is meant to register sleep at night, so that the participants can communicate whether they have slept well or not the previous night.
