Non-invasive ICP device

Headsense

Brain pressure became a no brainer

ICP (Intracranial Pressure) is the pressure in the skull. When skull pressure occurs in case of an accident, before or after surgery, or due to other physical trauma – early detection of ICP may be lifesaving. The intraventricular catheter is an accurate monitoring method of ICP, but to insert an intraventricular catheter, a hole needs to be drilled through the skull and then the catheter is inserted through the brain into the lateral ventricle. Headsense has introduced an alternative method to this risky and invasive procedure by developing an earphone-like device that measures ICP non-invasively, using an acoustic signal.

Dreams Taking Shape

The Dream

Developing a non-invasive device for monitoring intracranial pressure with an acoustic signal and eliminating the need to drill the skull.

The Outcome

Taga designed, developed and produced special headphones that are fixed to the patient's ear, to allow transmission of an acoustic signal in a reliable way, to measure ICP.
