Join Our Hydrocephalus Patient Registry!

The HA Patient Powered Interactive Engagement Registry (HAPPIER) is an online database created to bring the patient perspective to hydrocephalus research. HAPPIER is collecting information on the treatment and symptoms, health, and quality of life of people living with hydrocephalus.

HAPPIER is a part of the larger HA Research Network that is working together to improve outcomes, find new treatments, and develop ways to prevent hydrocephalus all together. With the HA Network for Discovery Science (HANDS), Hydrocephalus Clinical Research Network (HCRN), and the Adult HCRN (AHCRN), HAPPIER will help accelerate hydrocephalus research by providing patient-generated and patient-centered data to the research community.
