Abstract

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the accuracy of an innovative machine-learning-powered near-infrared spectroscopy (mNIRS)-based bio-optical sensitivity parameters, namely specific tissue optical index (STOI) and intracranial tissue optical index (ITOI) for effective triaging of patients with suspected traumatic brain injury (TBI) across different age-groups to facilitate timely intervention and curtail the silent epidemic.
