Descripción del proyecto
Un método no invasivo para medir la presión intracraneal
La presión intracraneal elevada es una afección crítica que se produce tras una enfermedad o un traumatismo cerebral y que puede causar daños cerebrales graves e incluso la muerte. En la actualidad, el método estándar para monitorizar esta afección es un procedimiento invasivo y muy complejo que requiere perforar el cráneo y cateterizar los ventrículos cerebrales, exponiendo al paciente a un elevado riesgo de complicaciones. StatuManu ha desarrollado un método no invasivo para medir las variaciones de la presión intracraneal con una gran fiabilidad y precisión, el cual podría tener aplicaciones en la práctica clínica. Este sencillo procedimiento obtiene una grabación de vídeo del fondo del ojo (el revestimiento interior del globo ocular) por medio de cámaras y lo analiza mediante un «software» exclusivo que proporciona un resultado en menos de un minuto. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos ICPstatu ayudará a desarrollar un amplio plan de negocio que incluirá un modelo de negocio compatible con la expansión y el crecimiento comerciales.
Objetivo
Elevated IntraCranial Pressure (ICP) is a critical condition derived from diseases or brain trauma. If not treat promptly
elevated ICP can cause severe damage on the brain or even death. The gold-standard method to monitor ICP is an invasive
and highly complex procedure, which requires drilling a hole in the cranium and proper insertion of catheters in the brain
ventricles, exposing the patients to high risk of complications, such as infections and haemorrhage. Due to the high
complexity of the procedure and need of expertise, it is very often applied too late, hampering early diagnosis and successful
treatments. StatuManu has developed the first non-invasive method to measure variations of ICP with adequate accuracy
and precision to be accepted in clinical practices. It is a very user-friendly procedure, consisting of recording a video of the
eye fundus by off-the-shelf fundus cameras and further analysis by our software (cloud-based) hosting our unique algorithm
capable to deliver a result in less than 1min.
StatuManu software will greatly benefit: 1) Healthcare professionals (end-users) by having a decision support tool based on
early and accurate assessment of ICP variations, 2) healthcare institutions (customers) by improving services workflow and
physicians decision making, saving costs and offering higher quality care; 3) patients by having access to a faster, accurate
and non-invasive assessment (anytime, anywhere, whenever needed), and consequently early treatments.
ICPstatu project will enable the development of a comprehensive business plan, including a business model compatible with
market expansion and growth. We are supported by clinical development partners and our team has the right combination of
expertise in image analysis, deep learning, software development and business to perform this project and fulfill all the
needs and requests of end-users and customers and benefiting the society as whole.
