Short project description

The aim of the Project: The aim of care for patients suffering from brain injury or neurological disease is to provide appropriate patient- specific therapeutic interventions based on reliable diagnostic and monitoring data. Key monitoring components involve intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and cerebrovascular autoregulation (CVA).

Currently, only invasive ICP monitoring technologies are available within the contemporary brain injury management. The ambitious technological task of developing non-invasive ICP and CVA monitoring technologies suitable for the clinical practice in terms of accuracy and precision as well as identification of the individual optCPP for daily routine is of extreme scientific importance.

The project aims at development of Worlds first non-invasive ICP meter and first fast non-invasive optCPP identifier suitable for clinical practice.
