Emergency Brain Monitor with Telemetry

描述（由申请人提供）：提议的项目旨在为大脑提供我们几十年来一直在为心脏做的事情。我们将设计一种先进的设备，利用21世纪的技术，用一个小而轻便的无线监测器来监测大脑（EEG）。它可以在急诊室、院前环境或医院的任何地方使用，包括手术室和ICU。遥测技术可以让病人摆脱束缚，四处走动

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed program is meant to provide for the brain what we have been doing for the heart for decades. We will design an advanced device using 21st century technology to monitor the brain (EEG) with a small lightweight wireless, monitor. It can be used in the emergency room, in a prehospital setting, or anywhere in the hospital, including the OR and ICU. The telemetry allows the patient to be untethered and moved about freely while still being monitored. LAN and Internet connections allow a neurologist to be able to read the EEGs from anywhere in the world. FDA approved wireless EEC equipment will be upgraded with new software and electrode harnesses for use in Emergency Departments at Vanderbilt and the University of Illinois, Chicago. The devices will be tested in the ED and a next generation device will be developed. Special attention will be given to design features to allow easy use in the ED environment. The patient testing will be to determine the prevalence of no convulsive seizures of patients with altered mental status in the ED.
