Evaluation of the Efficacy of an Assistive Device for Blind People: A Prospective, Non-Randomized, Single Arm, and Open Label Clinical Trial

This is the first attempt to evaluate the efficacy of the BrainPort Vision Pro for blind people in China. It is shown as a viable assistive device for blind individuals to directly interact with their environments through a real perception from tongue stimulation, without remarkable side effects in the current study. With the advancement and popularization, more blind people will have access to and benefit from the BrainPort Vision Pro in the future.

Abstract

This is the first attempt to evaluate the efficacy of the BrainPort Vision Pro for blind people in China. It is shown as a viable assistive device for blind individuals to directly interact with their environments through a real perception from tongue stimulation, without remarkable side effects in the current study. With the advancement and popularization, more blind people will have access to and benefit from the BrainPort Vision Pro in the future.
