CLICK Trial — Cognitive Load Investigation of Keyboard Click

Study Summary

An exploratory clinical study investigating whether the acoustic and tactile feedback generated by mechanical keyboards can improve attention, concentration, and task performance in adults with ADHD. Participants will complete a series of computer-based tasks using keyboards with different sound and switch profiles. The study aims to determine whether specific acoustic characteristics are associated with improved focus, reduced distractibility, and enhanced productivity. 


Led by Dr Diana Lam (PhD)

VOICE-AE Trial - Opinions on Intelligent Clinical Epilepsy

Study Summary

The VOICE-AE Trial is a mixed-methods clinical research study exploring patient and caregiver perspectives on the use of artificial intelligence (AI)–enabled tools in the management of epilepsy. These tools may include seizure prediction applications, wearable seizure detection devices, digital symptom tracking platforms, and AI-assisted clinical decision support systems.


The study aims to understand how individuals living with epilepsy perceive the usefulness, trustworthiness, usability, and safety of AI-driven technologies in their daily care. It will also examine concerns relating to privacy, autonomy, clinical decision-making, and the integration of AI tools into routine neurological care.


Led by Dr Leonardo Vincent (PhD, MD)

Eligibility Criteria

 

Inclusion Criteria

  • Adults aged 18 years and older
  • Clinical diagnosis of epilepsy
  • Experience using, or willingness to discuss, digital health or AI-enabled tools (e.g., apps, wearables, seizure tracking systems)
  • Able to provide informed consent
  • English language proficiency sufficient to complete interviews or questionnaires

Exclusion Criteria

  • Severe cognitive impairment preventing meaningful participation in interviews or surveys
  • Acute unstable medical or psychiatric condition impacting ability to participate
  • Inability to access or engage with digital tools (if required for specific study components)

PACIFIC & BEYOND - Patient centered clinical trials

Study Summary

The PACIFIC and BEYOND Trial is a mixed-methods clinical research study designed to explore how people living with epilepsy and their caregivers can partner with researchers to co-design more patient-centred clinical trials. The study will evaluate innovative approaches to involving patients throughout the research process, from identifying research priorities and designing study procedures to selecting meaningful outcome measures and evaluating participant experiences.


 The study aims to better understand how patients and caregivers perceive and experience patient-centred clinical trial interventions. Findings from the PACIFIC and BEYOND Trial will provide evidence to support the development of more inclusive, accessible, and patient-centred clinical trials.
