	SENSOR FOR INTRACRANIAL PRESSURE MONITORING Many medical and surgical disorders affecting the neurological system results in rise in intracranial pressure within the skull and contributes to considerable morbidity and mortality. Although monitoring of intracranial pressure is an essential part of clinical management in intensive care units, it is not routinely practiced in India as sensors that are presently available are very expensive costing nearly Rs 15,000/-. A micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS) based device has been developed indigenously by Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in collaboration with National Institute of Mental Health and Neural Sciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore using current advances in MEMS technology. Limited series production of prototypes is planned and these will be subjected to safety evaluation in animals to facilitate regulatory approvals before use in humans through clinical trials.
