Any plans to support ICP and its derived scores?

[crazydogen]

Describe the solution you'd like
Sixty years have passed since neurosurgeon Nils Lundberg presented his thesis about intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring, which represents a milestone for its clinical introduction. Monitoring of ICP has since become a clinical routine worldwide, and today represents a cornerstone in surveillance of patients with acute brain injury or disease, and a diagnostic of individuals with chronic neurological disease.

Evensen, K.B., Eide, P.K. Measuring intracranial pressure by invasive, less invasive or non-invasive means: limitations and avenues for improvement. Fluids Barriers CNS 17, 34 (2020).

ICP monitoring involves some indexes or scores such as AMP/RAP/PRX/CPP/CPPOpt/IAAC.

CPP derived scores

How could we do it?
To support these ICP derived scores, peak detection (that NeuroKit already supports ) and moving pearson's coefficient (not that hard) should be implemented.

Here is implementing example (PRx/CPP/CPPOpt).

@crazydogen thanks for letting me know about this, as I'm quite unfamiliar with ICP. I would say it is currently out of scope to add full and bespoke support, as NK mostly focuses on non-invasive physiological signals that are acquired for research purposes in psychology/neuroscience, rather than in clinical contexts.

That said, as you mentioned, some of its tools can likely be used to perhaps create an ICP-monitoring-focused add-on package

Okay, someone could be interested in it and put it into action.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
