Usability Study for Wireless Thermal Anisotropy Devices in Hydrocephalus
This study is looking at how easy it is to use a new device called "Thermal Anisotropy" for people with hydrocephalus (a condition where there is too much fluid in the brain). The device measures fluid flow in shunts (tubes that drain excess fluid). Researchers want to get your feedback on the device's usability to help improve its design. You can join if you are between 5 and 80 years old, have a shunt, and can communicate in English. The main goal is to gather your feedback on how easy the device is to use, which will be measured after about 2 hours. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
- Study design
- This is an observational study planning to include 145 participants. It is not a drug trial and does not have a specified phase.
- What's involved
- You would participate in observations and answer questions about using the Thermal Anisotropy device. This feedback will be gathered over approximately 2 hours.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your feedback on device usability will be measured at 2 hours.
