Design of an Implantable, Programmable and Wireless-Based Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) Shunt System with Intracranial Pressure Monitoring using Mixed Signal CMOS Circuit Approach

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the design of a SMART-SHUNT system for treating hydrocephalus, a condition characterized by an accumulation of pressure in the ventricles of the brain. The current treatment option, called a VP-SHOT, has limitations in control options, diagnosing failures, and real-time monitoring. The proposed SMART-SHUNT system aims to address these limitations by utilizing CMOS technology and integrating digital and analog sub-blocks. The system will include micropressure sensors, saw devices for compensating under- and over-drain scenarios, a wireless transceiver, and a high-resolution analog-to-digital converter. The video concludes by stating that the design is a preliminary step towards developing an implantable SMART-SHUNT system.
