Feeling the pressure

摘要

An optical probe could allow doctors to continuously measure intracranial pressure (ICP) in trauma victims using a non-invasive method. Dr Justin Phillips has received £46,000 through a Royal Academy of Engineering and Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellowship so he can develop the device. The money will allow him to undertake research for a year from September, by paying for a lecturer to cover his teaching and admin work at City University London.
