The Future of Neurocritical Care Starts Here
This year’s Annual Meeting of the Neurocritical Care Society is built around the theme “Advancing the Future of Neurocritical Care.” Rather than simply talking about the future, we want to create a place where attendees can experience it, challenge it, and help shape it.
That’s why we’re expanding our booth into what we hope will become an informal gathering place for clinicians, researchers, engineers, entrepreneurs, trainees, and industry leaders who are passionate about where our field is headed. We call it the Neurocritical Care Innovation Hub.
Over the past year, we’ve had the privilege of working with hospitals, academic centers, technology developers, and researchers around the world. Those conversations—and our collaborations on more than a dozen forward-looking projects—have given us a unique view of the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. We’d like to share that vision with you and hear yours.
Technology Showcase
Innovation in neurocritical care is accelerating, but many of the most exciting technologies are still years away from routine clinical use. Throughout the meeting, we’ll be showcasing emerging monitoring technologies—from early concepts to commercially available systems—and discussing what it will take to bring them into everyday patient care.
We’re especially pleased that Dr. Peter Smielewski (University of Cambridge), creator of ICM+ and pioneer of the CPPopt concept, will be joining us at the booth. Stop by to discuss individualized cerebral perfusion management, the evolution of CPPopt, and where the field may be headed next.
We’ll also feature a collection of next-generation, non-invasive sensing technologies, including our latest work in non-invasive intracranial pressure monitoring using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).
AI and Analytics
Artificial intelligence has enormous potential—but where is it already making a difference, and where is it headed?
We’ll be demonstrating practical applications of AI in neurocritical care, including Clara, our AI-powered clinical assistant that allows clinicians and researchers to have a conversation with their multimodal patient data, rapidly extracting insights from the overwhelming volume of physiologic information generated in the ICU.
We’re also helping organize this year’s Informatics, Big Data and AI Workshop at the meeting. We encourage everyone interested in the future of clinical AI to attend the workshop—and then continue the conversation with live demonstrations at our booth.
The Informatics Platform for the Future
We’ll be demonstrating the Moberg Clinical Platform (MCP) and showing how hospitals in North America and Europe are using it today to support both clinical care and research.
See real-world applications including:
- Medical device and EMR integration
- Personalized blood pressure management
- Detection of spreading depolarizations
- Stroke analytics
- Building enterprise-scale physiologic data lakes for research, AI model development, and education
We’ll also be discussing how an open informatics platform can accelerate innovation by making it easier for researchers and developers to deploy and evaluate new algorithms.
Education and Fellowship Training
As multimodal monitoring becomes increasingly sophisticated and more widespread, education has never been more important.
We’ll be sharing many of the educational resources we’ve developed over the years—including device guides, analytics tutorials, clinical case studies, and materials with a specific focus on neurocritical care fellowship training. We’d love your feedback on what educational resources our community needs next.
Join the Conversation
Our goal this year is simple: make our booth the place where conversations about the future of neurocritical care happen.
If you’re developing a new technology, exploring an AI application, testing a monitoring device, building clinical software, or simply have an idea that could improve patient care, we’d love to meet you.
Bring your prototype. Bring your data. Bring your toughest clinical problems. Bring your questions.
If you’re attending NCS, make time to stop by. Help us explore what neurocritical care could look like five to ten years from now—and let’s start building it together.
Interested in showcasing a technology, presenting a challenging case, or scheduling a discussion? Contact us before the meeting so we can reserve time at the Innovation Hub.
