Prospective Multicenter Observational Study for Clinical Validation of AI-Based Quantitative Eye Movement Analysis Using Smartphone-Recorded 9-Gaze Videos
THYROSCOPE INC.
Summary
This prospective, multicenter, multinational observational study evaluates the clinical validity of an AI-based quantitative eye movement analysis system (Glandy EOM) that analyzes smartphone-recorded 9-gaze videos. Approximately 200 adults per site with suspected or confirmed ocular motility abnormalities will undergo a single study visit consisting of a standard clinical 9-gaze examination, an assistant-aided smartphone video recording, and a patient self-recorded video acquisition using a mobile application. Because the study population is defined by clinical suspicion or diagnosis of ocular motility abnormality rather than confirmed disease at enrollment, some participants may be clinically judged to have no abnormality on formal evaluation; such subjects remain part of the study population and are not considered healthy volunteers. AI-derived quantitative eye movement metrics (corneal center displacement in millimeters and angular deviation) will be compared with rater-derived measurements obtained from the same videos using a calibrated reference approach, and with clinician-assessed 9-gaze grading. The investigational device is used solely for video acquisition and analysis and does not influence clinical decision-making.
Description
Ocular motility is commonly evaluated using the 9-gaze examination, which relies on clinician observation and semi-quantitative grading. This approach is inherently subjective and can show inter-observer variability and limited sensitivity to subtle changes over time. Objective, quantitative assessment of eye movement remains an unmet clinical need, particularly for monitoring disease progression and treatment response. Recent advances in artificial intelligence have enabled automated analysis of facial and ocular features from smartphone-recorded videos, offering the potential for reproducib…
