Crainio
Crainio is a UK-based medical technology company focused on revolutionizing the measurement of intracranial pressure (ICP) through a non-invasive, real-time, and affordable device. Their mission is to improve the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI) by providing clinicians with continuous ICP monitoring without the need for invasive procedures. Using low-power infrared light and advanced machine learning algorithms, Crainio's technology aims to make ICP measurement accessible, safe, and effective for a wide range of healthcare settings.

What We Do
A medical device that uses low-power infrared light and photoplethysmography (PPG) to non-invasively measure intracranial pressure. The device attaches to the patient's forehead and provides real-time, continuous ICP estimates using machine learning algorithms. It is currently under development, with clinical studies ongoing and market release targeted for 2026.
Crainio provides a non-invasive service for measuring intracranial pressure (ICP) using a probe attached to the patient's forehead. The service is designed for clinicians treating traumatic brain injury, with future plans to expand to paramedics, primary care doctors, and eventually the public.
