Microfluidics can be used in various medical fields. This includes measuring brain fluid pressure. The Cerebral and Cochlear Fluid Pressure (CCFP) analyser can detect life-threatening head injuries and infections without the need for surgery or painful spinal procedures. It can help combat space-related vision problems and diseases in astronauts – so-called “fluid shifts.”
Measuring the brain fluid pressure is crucial but often quite invasive and time intensive. That is why our client Space Vision is working on finding a non-invasive solution to this problem.
