What eye tracking delivers
Clinical researchers aim to identify objective markers for disease diagnosis and predictors for therapy outcomes. They investigate the behavioral correlates and focus on developing new therapeutic approaches for global disorders ranging from ocular to mental and neural disorders.
Eye movements deliver key insights into attention patterns, revealing alterations in visual field caused by ocular disorders or distinct attendance to social stimuli as found for autism spectrum disorders. Eye tracking allows standardized and automated testing of criteria such as smooth pursuit and saccadic eye movements, fixation stability, binocular vision and vergence.
SMI Eye Tracking solutions for clinical research are versatile to be used in traditional lab setups, real-world scenarios and simulated virtual realities to –
- Assess bodily or psychological disease state or rehabilitation progress
- Infer impairments in social interaction and visual attention of patients suffering from Autism spectrum disorders, ADHD and other developmental disorders
- Map visual field and other vision performance characteristics of low vision patients
