Abstract: A pressure monitoring system is disclosed herein comprising at least one pressure and/or flow sensors that is fully integrated into a proximal catheter of a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt. The pressure and/or flow sensor is wired to a transceiver, such as an inductively-charged Bluetooth wireless transceiver, on an external surface of a patient's skull to transmit a detected intracranial pressure (ICP) to a remote monitoring device, wherein the remote monitoring device comprises a computer and/or a mobile device with a compatible application for information analysis.
