入选标准

  • Confirmed written medical or low vision diagnosis of No Light Perception or Light Perception
  • Performance on the FrACT acuity test of worse than 20/5000 or impossible to measure.
  • Minimum post 6 months diagnosis blindness.
  • Previously completed conventional rehabilitation such as orientation and mobility training with a cane or guide dog.
  • Able to have read to him or her, understand, and sign the informed consent form.
  • Daily access to an accessible computer with email for study communication, device- use logging and access to device user manual preferred.
  • Willing and able to complete all testing, training, and follow- up evaluations required by the study protocol, after receiving a short orientation on the use of the device.

排除标准

  • Current oral health problems as determined from the oral health exam which preclude enrollment in the study in the judgment of the Principal Investigator.
  • Any medical condition that would interfere with performance on the assessments.
  • Prior use of the BrainPort vision device.
  • Known neuropathies of tongue or skin tactile system.
  • Smoke or chew tobacco products less than 12 months prior to study enrollment
  • Any allergies to nickel or stainless steel
  • History of seizures or epilepsy.
  • If female, pregnant. Women of child bearing potential must agree to use appropriate birth control to prevent pregnancy for the duration of the study.
  • People with implanted electrical medical devices (i.e. pacemaker, deep brain stimulator, cochlear implant).
  • Psychiatric disease including anxiety disorders and forms of depression (using provided Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI- II) as screening tools).
  • Any disease or condition that prevents understanding or communication of informed consent, study demands and testing protocols including the following:
  • Cognitive decline including forms of dementia and/or progressive neurological disease
  • Deafness or selective frequency hearing loss that prevents hearing device alarms and alerts.

结局指标

主要结局

Safety

时间窗: 1 year

The primary safety objective is to demonstrate that the rate of clinically significant device-related adverse events is less than 10%. This will require an observed event-free rate of approximately 97%.

Object Recognition

时间窗: 1 year

The primary efficacy objective is to demonstrate that at least 50% of subjects achieve a success rate in object recognition exceeding that expected by chance alone.

次要结局

  • Word Identification(1 year)
  • Ambulation/Mobility(1 year)
