Poster Title: Smartphone eye-tracking for precision brain health

Abstract: We are developing smartphone eye-tracking for precision brain health and early detection of neurodegenerative diseases. Our goal is to minimize user burden and to optimize engagement for remote monitoring. The performance of eye-tracking on smartphones has progressed to the point where it rivals specialized hardware. We will verify smartphone eye-tracking performance and benchmark with specialized eye-trackers. With our MVP eye-tracking app we have collected eye-tracking data from 115 participants and correlated it with a clinically validated, self-reported fatigue survey, the brief fatigue inventory (BFI). We will complete a proof-of-concept for clinical validation using smartphone measurements of eye-tracking speed, accuracy and precision to enable longitudinal monitoring of cognitive health and demonstrate utility for objective remote monitoring of progression, recovery and effectiveness for potential treatments.
