  1. TBI Alert an ICP monitor Non-invasive Measurement of Intracranial Pressure (ICP) after Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) Inventor:James Stone MD, FACS, FACNS

  2. The Magnitude of the Problem • TBI Affects 1.4 Million Americans per Year • Direct and Indirect medical costs exceed $60 Billion per Year • TBI Accounts for 3% of all Injuries, but • 11% of all Medical Costs • 16% of all Injury Productivity Loss • Clinical Deterioration within Hours to Days after Injury due to Bleeding or Brain Swelling – Leads to Increased ICP • About 20% of Moderate TBI and 2% of Mild TBI Patients Severely Deteriorate or Die • If Detected and Treated in Time, Lives can be Saved

  3. Our Invention – TBI ALERT • Monitors Critical Brainstem Integrity • Conventional Treatment for Mild/Moderate TBI is only • Observation and Repeat CT Brain Scans; • Invasive ICP Monitoring Reserved for Severe TBI • Deterioration is Difficult to Timely Detect due to Patient Sedation and Altered Consciousness as well as Nurses’ Busy • TBI Alert allows Non-invasive, Continuous, Bedside ICP Monitoring for Mild/Moderate TBI, Stroke, Hydrocephalus and Tumor Patients • May Replace Need for Some Invasive ICP Procedures in Coma Patients

  4. ICP Monitor Standard of Care vs. Our Invention Our non-invasive ICP monitor Invasive ICP monitor

  5. Comparison with Competing Devices

  6. Large Market Potential • About 250,000 Americans with TBI Hospitalized per Year • 80% (200,000) Mild TBI – • 2% Deteriorate/Die and 9.75% Not Working ≥ 1 year • 10% (25,000) Moderate TBI – • 20% Deteriorate/Die and 19% Not Working ≥ 1 year • U.S. Military in Iraq and Afghanistan - 2,882 reported TBI Cases • In the U.S., Per Year • 750,000 Stroke Victims – 140,000 Die • 75,000 Hydrocephalus Cases • 22,500 Brain Tumors Detected – 13,000 Die
