Dick Moberg's Neural Network

For the past month, we’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Florian van Leeuwen, a PhD Candidate in Statistics at Utrecht University. Florian’s PhD focuses on prediction models for many different types of complex datasets, but he has specific interests in applying these models to cases of brain injury. We’ve been hosting him in Philadelphia at Moberg Analytics, where he’s been collaborating on a...

At the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) Annual Meeting in 2022, we had the fortune of running into Dr. Mark O'Sullivan, CEO & Co-Founder of NeuroBell, a company developing an innovative medical device that offers portable EEG monitoring, enabling real-time and automated detection of neonatal seizures at the bedside. Tune in to hear about this exciting and impactful technology!

In this conversation, Dick sits down with Dr. Julian Bösel, a Professor of Neurology at University Hospital Heidelberg in Germany. They discuss the differences between European and American neurological institutes, the role of the German Society of Neurocritical Care and Emergency Medicine (DGNI), and the challenges and future of neurocritical care. Tune in for an insightful exploration into the f...

Dr. Kainerstorfer is using diffuse correlation spectroscopy to tease out non-invasive intracranial pressure in the brain. Her early work at Carnegie Mellon has proven successful. She relates how she got into this field and her journey to Carnegie Mellon.

Brian Appavu, MD, is an assistant professor of neurology at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. He is one of the most active pediatric neurologists in the field of multimodal neuromonitoring. We caught up with Brian at the American Clinical Neurophysiology meeting in Austin, Texas. He talks about what is unique to monitoring EEG in the ICU as opposed to other applications of EEG. Brian also talks about a...

Debbie Kantor, a nurse practitioner turned entrepreneur, describes her smart bandage for traumatic brain injury.  Debbie saw the need for a bandage that could fit on an amputee's stump and came up with a solution.  She tells the story of how that invention led to the development of an intelligent bandage for head injuries.

We interview Claudio Menegusso, one of the developers of the Brain4Care Cerebral Compliance Monitor and Dr. Sergio Brasil, a neurosurgeon in Brazil who uses it. At the end of the video we show a detailed demonstration of the device operation as well as the reports it produces.

Dr. Emily Gilmore and Dr. Eric Rosenthal discuss the pioneering ELECTRO-BOOST clinical trial that will look at the relationship between EEG features seen in brain injured patients in the ICU and the patient’s outcome.

Dr. Baruch Ben Dor tells the story of his company and the Infrascanner, a device that non-invasively detects hematomas on the surface of the brain.

We talk with Ryan Myers PhD who has just spun off a company from Vivonics to commercialize their technology for the non-invasive assessment of intracranial pressure.

Jed Hartings PhD and Brandon Foreman MD talk about multimodal neuromonitoring and spreading depolarizations. They discuss the individual paths they took that led to the University of Cincinnati where they helped build one of the premier multimodal monitoring services in the U.S.

⛷️🏔️ Jamie MoCrazy's journey – from being a renowned X Games skier to surviving a devastating crash where her fatality report was filled out in the helicopter to making a full recovery and founding a non-profit for brain injury awareness – is nothing short of inspiring. Jamie has taken her story and experience and leveraged it to start the MoCrazy Strong Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedica...

Dr. Balu was an early user of multimodal neuromonitoring and one of the first to manage highly acute neurocritical care patients with the gestalt of monitoring metrics rather than individual thresholds. He relates how we got into this mode of patient management while at the University of Pennsylvania and how he set up a framework for interpreting the data. See the interview on YouTube .

Dick Moberg describes how the pandemic changed his life and set the stage for a new company focusing on the future of neurocritical care informatics. Season 2 resumes this podcast on multimodal neuromonitoring but with a focus on machine learning and informatics.
