Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an implantable device for monitoring properties of cerebrospinal fluid of a patient. In one embodiment, the device may include a housing, a processor, a support member, one or more sensors, and a data storage. The sensors may be in communication with the processor and configured to detect one or more properties of cerebrospinal fluid. The device may be configured for transmitting the data and receiving instructions by an operator for the delivery of a therapeutic agent or imaging agent from a reservoir disposed within the housing in operable communication with a pump.
