The PROTECT study
PROTECT investigates LIBERTY in adults aged 55–85. The registered protocol describes a randomized, double-blind comparison with a visually identical sham patch over 7 days. Planned enrollment is 150; the press release dated October 9, 2026 reports on 68 people. According to Clarity Science, the results were presented at the World Congress of Psychiatry (WCP) 2026 in Stockholm; the source is its press release of October 9, 2026.
Reported results
Clarity Science reports statistically significant improvements in reaction time and time to stand and sit within the LIBERTY group (p < 0.05). FallSkip assesses balance and mobility, while a questionnaire assesses self-reported confidence in daily movements. The release also reports changes in fall-risk classification.
Scientific context
These initial findings come from a press release, rather than a full journal publication verified here. Significant changes within one group alone do not establish superiority over placebo. Changes in risk classification do not demonstrate a reduction in actual falls. Funding: SRYSTY Holding / The Super Patch Company; conducted by Clarity Science under Advarra IRB oversight.
