REVEAL Study - Diagnostic Testing for PTSD Using the Senseye Diagnostic Tool
United States, Australia1,900 participantsStarted 2026-02-23
Plain-language summary
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. The videos are analyzed by a an Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm to identify physiologic signals that might be indicative of PTSD. Data collected in this study will be used to train and tune the AI algorithm, then test it for accuracy.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
1. How accurate is the Senseye DT in detecting PTSD compared to structured clinical interviews, the current clinical standard for diagnostic testing?
2. How accurately does the Senseye DT predict PTSD severity?
3. How fast is the Senseye DT to use compared to structured clinical interviews?
Participants will attend a virtual screening visit via video call to determine eligibility and consent to participate. Once enrolled, participants will attend 2 or 3 additional study visits:
* Visit 1: A virtual visit where standard mental health assessments will be given by clinical raters trained in mental health and administering these structured clinical interviews. These assessments include the Structured Interview Guide for the Montgomery-Asburg Depression Rating Scale (SIGMA), the Structured Interview Guide for the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (SIGH-A), and the MINI International Neurodiagnostic Interview. The Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 Revised Version (CAPS-5-R) may also be conducted, if randomly selected.
* Visit 2: A visit to use the Senseye DT. For participants near one of the study's physical site locations, this visit will be done in person at the site. For all others, this visit will be conducted virtually.
* Visit 3: For participants not randomly selected to have the CAPS-5-R administered at Visit 1, a third and final visit will be scheduled for this assessment. This visit will be conducted virtually.
The total expected participation time for enrolled participants is 6-7 hours over the course of 2-3 weeks.

. Age 18 years old or older.
. In the past month, participant presents with at least one of the following:
. Deemed likely to comply with the study protocol by the study team, including willing communication of adverse events (AEs), mental health history, current and past psychiatric medication \& treatments, and ability to attend all study visits.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Sensitivity and Specificity of the Senseye DT as an objective PTSD diagnostic test
. Current diagnosis of epilepsy and/or other seizure disorders.
. A history of at Screening OR positive at Visit 1 for bipolar I or II, mania, or one or more schizophrenia-spectrum or other psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, delusional disorder, psychotic depression, and psychosis.
. Compromised facial neuro-ophthalmic integrity (e.g., due to stroke, MS, ALS, or other neurological conditions).
. Current diagnosis of dementia, delirium, amnestic disorders, autism, hydrocephalus, posterior cortical atrophy, aphasia, multiple sclerosis, or stroke-related cognitive dysfunction.
. Current eye disorders which prevent the patient from using the Senseye DT:
. Active suicidal and/or homicidal intent or other self-injurious behavior which may put the participant and/or others at risk per the investigator's clinical judgement, or has suicidal ideation of level 4 or 5 as determined by the C-SSRS.
. Suicidal behavior within the last year as determined by the C-SSRS at the time of screening.
. Significant suicidal ideation within the last 6 months as determined by ideation of level 4 or 5 by the C-SSRS at the time of screening.
