Predictive Modeling in TBI: Insights from Florian van Leeuwen

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 assessing the performance of ICP forecasting models, focusing on the use of a pre-trained transformer model for time series data.

In this interview, Florian sits down with Dick to discuss what he believes should be the future of neuroscience with specific regards to brain injury and neurocritical care. The two speak on how prediction models can assist clinicians in making difficult decisions regarding individual TBI patients, and how we can make models output more reliable, precise predictions from complex multimodal data sources.

Neonatal EEG Monitoring with Dr. Mark O'Sullivan: CEO & Co-Founder of NeuroBell

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!

An International Perspective of Neurocritical Care: A Conversation with Dr. Julian Bösel

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 field of neurology!

Non-invasive Intracranial Pressure - A Conversation with Dr. Jana Kainerstorfer

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.

Integrating EEG in the Pediatric Neuro ICU: A Conversation with Dr. Brian Appavu

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 future that includes a closer merger of epilepsy and neurocritical care.
