Method for Non-invasive Assessment of Pressure and Cardiac Efficiency (Case No. 2024-258)
Summary: Researchers in the Department of Medicine and Radiological Sciences at UCLA have developed a novel computational model for estimating ventricular mechanical efficiency using routine clinical exam practices. Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) involves complex heart defects that make it harder for the heart to pump blood effectively....

A System for Detecting Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Failure (Case No. 2023-057)
Summary: UCLA researchers in the David Geffen School of Medicine and Department of Neurosurgery have created a novel ventriculoperitoneal shunt failure detection system that can alert patients and healthcare providers to prevent life-threatening emergencies. Background: Each year, an estimated 30,000 ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts are surgically...
