As a mom to two kids with hydrocephalus, I can't express how much the HydroAssist app has made the oftentimes complicated life of living with hydrocephalus easier to keep up with. I used to keep track of symptoms, shunt settings, etc. in a notebook. Now, everything is organized and accessible digitally, making it so much easier to stay on top of their health.One of the features I love the most is that my kids can take control of their own information. They can share access with my husband and me, which really empowers them to be involved in their own care. It’s been a game changer for our family, and I highly recommend it to any parents navigating life with hydrocephalus!
Everyone living with Hydrocephalus should have this!
Eileen Rodger
We are so grateful for this app as we love to travel and our son has moved several times for college and away from his neurosurgeon. The HydroAssist is an easy must have in case of an emergency shunt failure while out of town and just overall communication between patient, parent and physician. Highly recommend!
A must for hydrocephalus management
NPHerTX
I consider the HydroAssist app a must have for anyone dealing with hydrocephalus. I recently was able to use the app in an emergency situation to show the doc my latest CT scan, shunt information, and setting which helped me get appropriate care. It is helpful having my hydro information organized and so readily available.

I have hydrocephalus and epilepsy, and have found HydroAssist very helpful to digitally incorporate my neurosurgical and neurological medical records in order to help outside medical facilities, family members and close friends to assist me with managing my neurological health. I am looking forward to the integration of Electronic Medical Record companies with HydroAssist in the future.
