Prospective Observational Study of Smartphone-Based AI Self-Monitoring During Non-Surgical Treatment for Thyroid Eye Disease (THYROSCOPE) (THYROSCOPE-TED)

28. května 2026 aktualizováno: THYROSCOPE INC.

Prospective Observational Study of Smartphone-Based Self-Monitoring Using an Artificial Intelligence Solution During Non-Surgical Treatment for Thyroid Eye Disease

This prospective observational study evaluates the feasibility and clinical utility of a smartphone-based artificial intelligence (AI) self-monitoring system in adults with thyroid eye disease (TED) undergoing non-surgical treatment. Eligible participants will use their own smartphones and the study application (Glandy) to perform at least weekly home monitoring consisting of a symptom questionnaire (diplopia, pain on visual analog scale) and a standardized frontal facial photograph. AI-derived outputs (Glandy CAS, Glandy EXO, Glandy LID) obtained at routine clinic visits will be compared with standard clinician assessments (CAS total score, Hertel exophthalmometry, MRD1/MRD2). AI outputs will not be used for real-time clinical decision-making during the study.

Přehled studie

Detailní popis

Thyroid eye disease (TED) is an autoimmune inflammatory disorder most commonly associated with Graves' disease. Clinical manifestations include conjunctival injection, eyelid swelling, eyelid retraction, proptosis, diplopia, and altered ocular appearance. TED typically progresses through an active inflammatory phase of approximately 6-12 months before transitioning to a relatively inactive phase, although interval worsening may occur. Because treatment response can change dynamically, timely assessment of disease activity and severity is important for monitoring.

In current practice, TED activity and severity are primarily assessed during in-person visits using the Clinical Activity Score (CAS), Hertel exophthalmometry, and eyelid measurements (MRD1/MRD2). These assessments are episodic and may not capture interval change between visits.

Recent advances in AI have enabled image-based quantification of TED-related features from facial or periocular photographs. The AI-based monitoring system evaluated here has three analytic components: Glandy CAS (CAS-related outputs from photographs + symptom input), Glandy EXO (image-based exophthalmometric estimate), and Glandy LID (eyelid-related parameters including MRD measurements).

This prospective observational study will enroll approximately 200 adults with TED scheduled to initiate non-surgical treatment (intravenous methylprednisolone, oral corticosteroids, radiotherapy, or biologic therapy). Participants will perform at least weekly home-based self-monitoring (symptom entry + standardized frontal facial image) using their own smartphones and the study application. Baseline and end-of-treatment data will be required. At routine clinic visits, app-based image capture and symptom entry will also be performed to create clinic-matched assessments; AI-derived outputs will be compared with clinician-assessed TED parameters obtained the same day. At least two clinic-matched assessments per participant will be required for longitudinal evaluation. AI-generated outputs will not be used for real-time clinical decision-making.

Kohorty a intervence

Skupina / kohorta
Intervence / Léčba
TED - Non-surgical treatment cohort
Adults with TED initiating non-surgical treatment who perform smartphone-based self-monitoring (weekly symptom entry + facial image capture) during the treatment course, with clinic-matched assessments at routine visits.

A smartphone application through which participants complete a symptom questionnaire (diplopia; pain by visual analog scale) and capture a standardized frontal facial photograph at least weekly during the treatment course, and additionally at each routine clinic visit. Submitted images are transmitted to a central analysis system for AI-based processing that generates three analytic outputs:

  • Glandy CAS - CAS-related output derived from periocular signs and symptom input
  • Glandy EXO - image-based exophthalmometric estimate (surrogate of Hertel)
  • Glandy LID - eyelid-related parameters including MRD1/MRD2 equivalents AI outputs are used for research analysis only and are NOT returned to the treating clinician for real-time decision-making during the study.

Popis plánu IPD

The dataset includes patient-captured smartphone facial photographs, which are inherently identifiable biometric data. Public sharing of individual participant data (IPD) would pose a substantial risk of re-identification that cannot be fully mitigated by standard de-identification of tabular variables alone. The informed consent obtained from participants and the IRB-approved protocol do not authorize broad third-party sharing of these facial images or associated individual-level records. In addition, the study is conducted in the Republic of Korea and is subject to the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) and the Bioethics and Safety Act, which restrict external transfer of identifiable health and biometric information. For these reasons, individual-level data will not be shared publicly. Reasonable requests for scientifically justified collaborative analyses may be considered on a case-by-case basis, subject to a data-use agreement, sponsor approval, and applicable ethics appr
