Workshop attendance once again reached room capacity (30 participants), with delegates joining from across the international ICP community. The day was structured as a hands-on, clinically grounded walkthrough of the full neuromonitoring “data lifecycle”: from configuring high-resolution data acquisition and integrating multimodal bedside streams (including real-time and offline annotation, storage and archiving), through data curation and exploratory analysis within ICM+.

A substantial part of the programme focused on practical configuration of ICM+ for calculating derived indices relevant to cerebral autoregulation and ICP dynamics, including use of macros and Python plugin integration to extend analyses. Sessions then moved into interpretation and clinical context, using case-based examples to connect physiological patterns with clinical decision-making, and concluded with big-data and batch workflows (automated patient-level summaries, period-by-period reporting, and event-oriented analyses).

To maximise interaction, participants worked in small groups on their own laptops (with virtual desktops available for non-Windows users), with exercises framed around real clinical/research questions and tailored by experience level. We are grateful to all attendees for the lively discussions and collaborative spirit throughout the day, and to the ICP 2025 organisers for hosting the workshop in Punta del Este.
