EyeControl-Med: The first personalized ICU communication platform
EyeControl-Med is uniquely designed to support ICU patients across all levels of awareness and cognitive ability, addressing their needs throughout the recovery process.
As patients transition from sedation to increased alertness, the platform adapts to provide stage-appropriate communication, cognitive stimulation, and patient engagement.
By automating the Society of Critical Care Medicine’s A-F Bundle elements, EyeControl-Med empowers healthcare teams to seamlessly implement evidence-based interventions, improving patients’ physical, cognitive, and mental health outcomes.
EyeControl-Med Aims To:
Increase patient autonomy:
Giving a voice to vulnerable patients with communication difficulties.
Improve clinical outcomes: Supporting healthcare workers in implementing non-pharmacological best practices in the ICU, aligned with evidence-based guidelines.
Strengthen the family experience: Enabling family members to play an active and engaged role in their loved one's recovery and strengthening family-patient-provider relationships.
Enhance the staff experience: Providing insights into patient status, thereby aiding symptom assessment and clinical decision-making.

CASE STUDIES
Personalizing Care with EyeControl:
Connection Through Music
Background
In the high-intensity world of Assuta Ashdod's ICU, where patients in critical condition fight for their lives, a unique intervention using the EyeControl device has shown significant impact on patient morale and recovery.
Despite being weaned from sedation, a patient on mechanical ventilation was comatose for several days. Eventually, as he slowly regained consciousness in the ICU, he frequently appeared in physical and emotional distress. His girlfriend, understanding the profound connection he had with heavy metal music, communicated this vital aspect of his identity to the medical team.

This case underscores the potential of EyeControl to go beyond traditional communication barriers, offering patients a voice to express their personal needs and preferences, thereby playing a crucial role in their healing journey.
Enhancing Spiritual Connection Through EyeControl During ICU Care
Background
In the challenging environment of Assuta Ashdod Hospital's ICU, where families grapple with the distress of having a loved one critically injured during wartime, EyeControl has emerged as a crucial link between patients and their families. This case study highlights two poignant examples where the EyeControl technology transcended the barriers imposed by critical care and civil unrest, allowing families to maintain their cultural and spiritual bonds with their loved ones.

The Challenge
Families were confronted with the harsh reality of limited visitation rights due to stringent infection control protocols. This was particularly agonizing during periods of religious observance. The inability of families to be physically present with their loved ones in the ICU posed a significant emotional and spiritual strain.
