Dick Moberg's Neural Network Dick Moberg

Dr. Balu was an early user of multimodal neuromonitoring and one of the first to manage highly acute neurocritical care patients with the gestalt of monitoring metrics rather than individual thresholds. He relates how we got into this mode of patient management while at the University of Pennsylvania and how he set up a framework for interpreting the data. See the interview on YouTube.

Dick Moberg describes how the pandemic changed his life and set the stage for a new company focusing on the future of neurocritical care informatics. Season 2 resumes this podcast on multimodal neuromonitoring but with a focus on machine learning and informatics.

Dr. Robert Silbergleit, Professor of Emergency Medicine at the University of Michigan Medical School, and Dr. Romer Geocadin, Professor of Neurology at Johns Hopkins, discuss the ICECAP therapeutic hypothermia trial.

Dick’s best friend Sheila recounts her experience being in a coma following a traumatic brain injury, while her brother Rick and her doctor Indira de Jesus share their perspectives. Dr. Claude Hemphill explains how the Curing Coma project aims to improve our understanding and treatment of comatose patients.
