Interviews
Florian is a PhD Candidate in Statistics at Utrecht University, focusing on prediction models for complex datasets and applying these models to cases of brain injury. In this interview, he sits down with Dick to discuss what he believes should be the future of neuroscience with specific regards to brain injury and neurocritical care. The two speak on how prediction models can assist clinicians in making difficult decisions regarding individual TBI patients, and how we can make models output more reliable, precise predictions from complex multimodal data sources.
Jamie MoCrazy’s journey – from being a renowned X Games skier to surviving a devastating crash and making a full recovery – is nothing short of inspiring. She has taken her story and leveraged it to start the MoCrazy Strong Foundation. Jamie and Dick talk about her experience surrounding the crash, the difficulty yet importance of TBI survivors remaining in contact with the TBI world, how TBI survivors can reintegrate with society after their injury, her ongoing efforts to break the stigma around TBI, and the potential for collaboration to improve TBI outcomes.
At the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) Annual Meeting in 2022, we had the fortune of running into Dr. Mark O’Sullivan, CEO & Co-Founder of NeuroBell, a company developing an innovative medical device that offers portable EEG monitoring, enabling real-time and automated detection of neonatal seizures at the bedside. Tune in to hear about this exciting and impactful technology!
In this conversation, Dick sits down with Dr. Julian Bösel, a Professor of Neurology at University Hospital Heidelberg in Germany. They discuss the differences between European and American neurological institutes, the role of the German Society of Neurocritical Care and Emergency Medicine (DGNI), and the challenges and future of neurocritical care. Tune in for an insightful exploration into the field of neurology!
Dr. Kainerstorfer is using diffuse correlation spectroscopy to tease out non-invasive intracranial pressure in the brain. Her early work at Carnegie Mellon has proven successful. She relates how she got into this field and her journey to Carnegie Mellon.
Brian Appavu, MD, is an assistant professor of neurology at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. He is one of the most active pediatric neurologists in the field of multimodal neuromonitoring. We caught up with Brian at the American Clinical Neurophysiology meeting in Austin, Texas. He talks about what is unique to monitoring EEG in the ICU as opposed to other applications of EEG. Brian also talks about a future that includes a closer merger of epilepsy and neurocritical care.
Debbie Kantor, a nurse practitioner turned entrepreneur, describes her smart bandage for traumatic brain injury. Debbie saw the need for a bandage that could fit on an amputee’s stump and came up with a solution. She tells the story of how that invention led to the development of an intelligent bandage for head injuries.
We interview Claudio Menegusso, one of the developers of the Brain4Care Cerebral Compliance Monitor and Dr. Sergio Brasil, a neurosurgeon in Brazil who uses it. At the end of the video we show a detailed demonstration of the device operation as well as the reports it produces.
Dr. Ramani Balu describes his early work at the University of Pennsylvania where he set up a process for multimodal neuromonitoring. He talks about how he used the process to manage his high acuity neurocritical care patients.
Dr. Emily Gilmore and Dr. Eric Rosenthal discuss the pioneering ELECTRO-BOOST clinical trial that will look at the relationship between EEG features seen in brain injured patients in the ICU and the patient’s outcome.
Dr. Baruch Ben Dor tells the story of his company and the Infrascanner, a device that non-invasively detects hematomas on the surface of the brain.
We talk with Ryan Myers PhD who has just spun off a company from Vivonics to commercialize their technology for the non-invasive assessment of intracranial pressure.
Jed Hartings PhD and Brandon Foreman MD talk about multimodal neuromonitoring and spreading depolarizations. They discuss the individual paths they took that led to the University of Cincinnati where they helped build one of the premier multimodal monitoring services in the U.S.
