A Phase 3 interventional study of Senseye Diagnostic Tool (DT) and Clinician Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5, Revised Version in PTSD - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, sponsored by Senseye, Inc.. Recruiting at 6 sites in 2 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-04-29.
Sponsored by Senseye, Inc. · Phase 3, Interventional, and Diagnostic
The goal of the REVEAL PTSD study is to test how well the Senseye DT works as a diagnostic test for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in adults 18 and older who are experiencing one or more symptoms that might be related to PTSD.
The Senseye DT is software as a medical device (SaMD) and is an iPhone app that administers a series of simple tasks on the phone while recording video during the tasks through the front-facing camera. The videos are analyzed by a an Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm to identify physiologic signals that might be indicative of PTSD. Data collected in this study will be used to train and tune the AI algorithm, then test it for accuracy.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
Participants will attend a virtual screening visit via video call to determine eligibility and consent to participate. Once enrolled, participants will attend 2 or 3 additional study visits:
The total expected participation time for enrolled participants is 6-7 hours over the course of 2-3 weeks.
200 studies on the registry are indexed under Combat Disorders; 90 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 1,900 is above the median of 72 across 167 interventional studies indexed under Combat Disorders.

Exclusion Criteria:
Current eye disorders which prevent the patient from using the Senseye DT:
Current reported usage (within 2 weeks of Screening Visit and/or planned ongoing usage during the study) of psychotropic drugs and/or non-psychotropic drugs or medication which may affect use of the Senseye DT:
Stimulants (e.g., Amphetamines, Ritalin, Focalin, pseudoephedrine/Sudafed, ecstasy, cocaine, methamphetamines, cathinones, etc.). Note: Caffeine or nicotine use is not exclusionary. Note: that if Sudafed, pseudoephedrine, and stimulants commonly used to treat ADHD (e.g., Ritalin, Focalin, Adderall, etc. can be abstained from for > 24 hours prior to the Senseye DT visit, the exclusion does not apply for those medications.
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

All participants enrolled will be administered both the Senseye DT and the CAPS-5-R. The CAPS-5-R is used as the study's clinical reference standard to establish the "ground truth" for PTSD presence and severity. The order of administration will be randomized.
Device: Senseye Diagnostic Tool (DT) · Behavioral: Clinician Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5, Revised Version
Software as a Medical Device - the Senseye DT is an investigational diagnostic device that is an application which can be installed on iPhones 13 and newer. The device administers various tasks on the phone screen that the participant completes while video and/or audio is recorded (depending on the task). Recordings are analyzed by a machine learning algorithm to predict the presence and severity of PTSD.
The CAPS-5-R is a standardized stuctured clinical interview for determining PTSD presence and severity. It is a behavioral interview administered by a trained mental health clinician or clinical rater. Participant responses to various questions about traumatic experiences and resulting symptoms are scored to determine PTSD presence according to DSM-5 criteria and PTSD severity according to the CAPS-5-R severity scale.
Also known as: CAPS-5-R
Sensitivity and Specificity of the Senseye DT as an objective PTSD diagnostic test
Performance goals (lower bound of 95% confidence intervals) are set to ≥0.70 sensitivity and ≥0.70 specificity for the device's binary PTSD diagnostic test result as compared to the Clinical Reference Standard. The Senseye DT would provide a clear, objective diagnostic result that is 70% of the research-quality structured clinical interview accuracy (70% of 100% accuracy). This level of accuracy is clinically sufficient for providing a meaningful diagnostic output for PTSD as it provides an accuracy equivalent to current standard-of-care methods in mental healthcare. In primary care settings where a majority of PTSD patients are initially seen for symptoms, the Senseye DT would provide a 50% improvement in accuracy compared to current methods (70% vs. 20%).
Time frame: Baseline
Time to administer the Senseye DT compared to the clinical reference standard
Intended to demonstrate a statistically significant difference in time to administer the Senseye DT compared to the CAPS-5-R structured clinical interview. It is expected that the Senseye DT time to administer will be \~73% faster (24 min. vs. 90 min.) compared to the CAPS-5-R. This time difference represents a clinical benefit compared to existing methods, as a research-quality assessment for PTSD with accuracy equivalent to current real-world standard of care can be delivered in less time.
Time frame: Baseline
Agreement between the Senseye DT PTSD severity score output and the CAPS-5-R severity scale
Intended to validate the Senseye DT's capability to output a PTSD severity rating. A valid output will be a Senseye DT severity output that is shown to be correlated with the CAPS-5-R severity rating via a regression analysis.
Time frame: Baseline
To demonstrate the Senseye DT's clinical utility in identifying individuals recommended for treatment intervention for PTSD, as assessed by an independent clinician panel.
Endpoint is intended to demonstrate the Senseye DT's clinical utility in identifying individuals who require treatment intervention for PTSD, as assessed by an independent clinician panel. This endpoint evaluates whether the device output aligns with clinical decision-making beyond diagnostic classification alone, as treatment necessity does not always correspond directly to diagnostic status. The lower bound of the 95% confidence intervals for both sensitivity and specificity must be ≥0.70 to establish the device can reliably support clinical treatment decisions. Overall diagnostic concordance will be summarized using Cohen's kappa coefficient to quantify agreement between device classification and clinician panel assessment.
