60 participantsStarted 2026-04-01

Plain-language summary

The objectives of this clinical trial are to explore the feasibility of the eye-tracking interactive system in improving communication disorders among non-verbal ICU patients. It will also preliminarily investigate the effectiveness of this system in facilitating communication for these patients. Researchers will compare the eye-tracking interactive system with traditional augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) technologies (such as body language, writing boards, etc.) to observe the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of the eye-tracking interactive system in improving communication disorders. Participants will: * Use augmentative and alternative communication technologies daily * Have detailed records of every communication interaction
