Descrizione del progetto
Metodo non invasivo per misurare la pressione intracranica
La pressione intracranica elevata è una condizione critica che si verifica in seguito a malattia o a trauma cerebrale, che può causare un grave danno cerebrale e persino il decesso. L’attuale metodo standard per monitorare questa condizione è una procedura invasiva estremamente complessa, che prevede l’esecuzione di un foro nel cranio con il cateterismo dei ventricoli cerebrali, esponendo i pazienti a rischio elevato di complicazioni. StatuManu ha sviluppato un metodo non invasivo per misurare le variazioni di pressione intracranica con accuratezza e precisione estreme, per applicazioni potenziali nella pratica clinica. Questa procedura intuitiva ottiene delle videoregistrazioni del fondo oculare (il rivestimento interno del bulbo oculare) utilizzando videocamere e ulteriori analisi attraverso un software straordinario, in grado di fornire un risultato in meno di 1 minuto. Il progetto ICPstatu, finanziato dall’UE, contribuirà a sviluppare un piano commerciale completo, che comprende un modello di business compatibile con l’espansione e la crescita del mercato.
Obiettivo
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.
