Researchers are testing two small, noninvasive sensors that stick to your forehead to measure oxygen levels and blood flow in your brain tissue. This study aims to understand how well these sensors can track brain health in patients who are in the intensive care unit with serious brain injuries, bleeding, tumors, or strokes.
Doctors need better ways to monitor what's happening inside the brain when patients have serious injuries or conditions. This study will help determine if simple forehead sensors can give doctors reliable information about brain blood flow and oxygen without needing more invasive monitoring methods.

Researchers will place two small sensors on your forehead over the temple area to continuously monitor your brain's oxygen levels and blood flow. The sensors will be connected to a monitoring system that tracks this information in real time alongside your existing intensive care monitoring. If monitoring continues beyond 6 hours, the sensor adhesive will be replaced to ensure accuracy. There are no separate visits — this all happens while you're receiving critical care in the hospital.
