Abstract
Disclosed is a system for evaluating brain trauma via regional changes in tissue impedance. The present disclosure describes a system for non-invasive intracranial monitoring, comprising two or more affecting electrodes arranged between a conductive location of a cranium of a patient and a location on a scalp of the patient, two or more effected electrodes arranged between the conductive location of the cranium of the patient and the location on the scalp of the patient, and processing circuitry configured to apply an electrical stimulus between the two or more affecting electrodes, measure an electrical stimulus differential between the two or more effected electrodes, calculate, for the two or more effected electrodes, a value of an impedance metric, and identify, based on the calculated value of the impedance metric, a health condition of the patient.
