Zusammenfassung:Existing neurosurgical intracranial pressure monitors can only be used in the hospital (usually ICU) setting, and have limited useful life due to drift and infection. Our work aims to develop a reliable and mass-producible MEMS-based microwave intracranial pressure sensor and a simple and portable microwave monitor for the sensor. This will also allow noninvasive monitoring of intracranial pressure.
