ClinConnect Summary

The Stanford-Lucidify EEG Delirium Study is a clinical trial aimed at improving how doctors detect delirium, a state of confusion that can affect people who are seriously ill. The study will use a special device called the CGX EEG system to monitor brain activity and a software program called Lucidify to help identify signs of delirium early on. By doing this, the researchers hope to better understand how delirium develops and how it can impact patients' movement, daily activities, and sleep quality. This is important because catching delirium early can lead to better care and outcomes for patients.

To participate in this study, individuals need to be 55 years or older and suspected of having delirium or at risk for it. They must be admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) or oncology wards and expected to stay in the hospital for more than a day. Participants will be closely monitored, and their brain activity and movements will be recorded to gather valuable information about their condition. It's important to note that this study is not yet recruiting participants, and certain individuals, such as those with specific neurological conditions or those who cannot communicate in English, will not be eligible to join.
