The 5th User Group was very succesfull and included many exciting talks from our global users across a wide range of topics.

Th 5th ICM+ user group meeting took place at the start of 2022 ICP and Brain Monitoring conference in Cape Town. The meeting comprised of short talks from our users about their neuro-monitoring work, adults and paediatric, clinical and experimental, applications and methods. It turned out to be another stimulating and inspiring event and we will be posting recordings from this meeting shortly.
