The prototype of the wearable ultrasound intracranial pressure monitor, invented by Col. Tyler Harris of Womack Army Medical Center and Maj. Jason Perez of Irwin Army Community Hospital and developed with the support of the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command’s Medical Technology Transfer Office, uses ultrasound transducers (5) attached to a flexible adhesive strip (3) that is placed on a patient’s eyelid (1) to measure the diameter of the eye’s optic nerve sheath, which is an indicator of elevated pressure inside the skull resulting from head trauma. The device could someday provide medics and first responders with an easy-to-use noninvasive portable tool for quickly diagnosing head trauma in the field.
