Problem
Current methods for monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) often involve invasive procedures like drilling into the skull, which pose risks and are not suitable for continuous monitoring or use in non-critical settings. Assessing neurological health rapidly and safely, especially for patients with conditions like traumatic brain injury or hydrocephalus, remains a challenge.
Solution
brain4care offers a non-invasive solution for monitoring intracranial compliance and assessing the risk of intracranial hypertension (ICH). The system utilizes a portable sensor placed on the patient's head to measure micro variations in the skull's perimeter, providing real-time data on neurological health. This technology enables clinicians to monitor changes in intracranial dynamics without the need for radiation, contrast agents, or invasive procedures. The sensor data is processed to provide an indicator of neurological health, aiding in faster and more informed medical decisions. The device is designed for use in various settings, including hospitals, clinics, and even the patient's home, allowing for continuous or spot-check monitoring.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes neurologists, intensivists, emergency room physicians, and other healthcare professionals who need to monitor intracranial pressure and assess neurological health in patients with conditions such as traumatic brain injury, hydrocephalus, or stroke.
