Johns Hopkins Medicine Jul 23 2024 Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers have published new research that reports on a potential alternative and less-invasive approach to measure intracranial pressure in patients.ICP is a physiological variable that can increase abnormally when one has acute brain injury, stroke or obstruction to the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Symptoms of elevated ICP may include headaches, blurred vision, vomiting, changes in behavior and decreased level of consciousness.
ICP is universally accepted as a critical vital sign - there is an imperative need to measure and treat ICP in patients with serious neurological disorders, yet the current standard for ICP measurement is invasive, risky, and resource-intensive. Here we explored a novel approach leveraging Artificial Intelligence which we believed could represent a viable noninvasive alternative ICP assessment method.
The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine team, an interdisciplinary group led by Stevens, hypothesized that severe forms of brain injury, and elevations in ICP in particular, are associated with pathological changes in systemic cardiocirculatory function due, for example, to dysregulation of the central autonomic nervous system. This hypothesis suggests that extracranial physiological waveforms can be studied to better understand brain activity and ICP severity.

ABP, PPG and ECG data were used to train and contrast a panel of different deep learning algorithms, resulting in a level of accuracy in determining ICP that rivals or exceeds other methodologies.
