Claim 12:
13. A method for non-invasive management and monitoring of intracranial pressure, comprising:
detecting, by a transducer of a detection device, volumetric variation of a skull of a person and generating an analog signal indicative of the volumetric variation, wherein the detection device, which further comprises an environmental sensor comprising a temperature sensor, and at least one of a gyroscope and an accelerometer, is configured to be placed on head of the person and the transducer is displaced by the volumetric variation;
receiving, by a receiver, the analog signals from the detection device, wherein the analog signal represents measurements of volumetric variation;
converting, by a signal processor, the analog signal to a digital signal, wherein each measurement in the analog signal is represented by a sequence of bits in the digital signal;
detecting, by the signal processor, proper placement of the detection device on the head of the person using the digital signal;
upon detecting proper placement, transmitting, by the transmitter, the entire sequence of bits for a given measurement in the digital signal;
transmitting, by the transmitter, only a subset of least significant bits from a sequence of bits for subsequent measurements in the digital signal.
