Real-Time Brain Monitor Detects Infections Earlier

Real-time brain monitor detects infections earlier

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed NeuroSense, a bedside monitoring system that can detect infections in brain‑injured patients far earlier than current laboratory testing. The device continuously analyzes cerebrospinal fluid for biomarkers such as glucose, lactate and pH, as well as flow rate, allowing clinicians to identify infections or drain malfunctions in near real time. By enabling faster intervention in intensive ca…
