HeadSense Medical: Measuring Intracranial Pressure, Noninvasively
Executive Summary
Drilling a burr hole in the skull and placing a pressure sensor in the brain tissue is the unsettling but standard method for monitoring intracranial pressure in patients with severe traumatic brain injury or stroke. HeadSense Medical Ltd. has developed a noninvasive patient headset and tablet monitor that uses a low-frequency acoustic signal to automatically and continuously measure ICP.
