I-Corps: Non-invasive intracranial pressure sensing

这个i-Corps项目的更广泛的影响/商业潜力是开发一种通过近红外光谱监测颅内压的非侵入性方法。目前测量颅内压的侵入性方法具有很高的并发症风险，并不是所有患者都能使用。拟议的技术旨在为目前的方法提供一种成本效益高、容易获得的替代方法。这项技术有可能改善患者的预后，因为它能够及早发现颅内压升高，从而允许及早干预。该项目旨在确定这项技术的商业可行性，并探索国内外潜在的市场和监管流程。这个i-Corps项目基于开发一种非侵入性替代目前的侵入性测量颅内压的方法。这项拟议的技术基于近红外光谱，通过早期检测颅内压升高，有可能显著改善患者的预后。这项技术使用放置在患者额头上的光学传感器。该项目旨在澄清神经危重护理中心内的滩头阵地市场以及国外市场和监管程序的吸引力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of a non-invasive method for monitoring intracranial pressure through near-infrared spectroscopy. The current invasive method for measuring intracranial pressure carries a high risk of complications and is not accessible to all patients. The proposed technology aims to provide a cost-effective and easily accessible alternative to the current method. This technology has the potential to improve patient outcomes by enabling early detection of elevated intracranial pressure, thereby allowing for early intervention. The project aims to identify the commercial viability of this technology and explore the potential markets and regulatory processes both domestically and abroad.This I-Corps project is based on the development of a non-invasive alternative to the current invasive method of measuring intracranial pressure. The proposed technology, based on near-infrared spectroscopy, has the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes by enabling early detection of elevated intracranial pressure. This technology uses an optical sensor placed on the forehead of the patient. The project aims to clarify the beachhead market within neurocritical care centers and the attractiveness of markets and regulatory processes abroad.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
