Effective monitoring of critically ill patients in intensive care units poses significant challenges due to the complex syndromes and requirements of these patients. In particular, brain edema, characterized by the excessive accumulation of fluid, is a common and potentially life-threatening condition among critically ill patients with brain disorders. Glymphometer is a brain monitoring device we designed for the precise and non-invasive detection of fluid balance within the brain. This device operates wirelessly, thereby reducing the need for physical intervention with patients. Currently, no other technique can measure the hydrodynamic status of brain fluid with comparable accuracy. Its use in monitoring head trauma patients will advance both clinical practices and research in acute care medicine. Moreover, it will contribute to scientific progress in the field of glymphatic system research, an area in which our multidisciplinary research consortium is internationally recognized.
