Abstract

Hydrocephalus is currently managed using traditional mechanical shunts. A smart patient monitoring and shunting system is needed for both patient follow-up and drainage of the cerebrospinal fluid. eHealth is a current and necessary trend for better management of chronic-diseases such as hydrocephalus. This paper demonstrates the analysis of questionnaire data to test the user's acceptance of healthcare technology. The paper also presents a concept for a smart shunting system in-terms of the hardware required for such system to function. The valve mechanism is put under focus as it is the most crucial component of this system.
