About HydroAssist® Mobile Application

Now you can take your entire hydrocephalus treatment history with you on your mobile device.

HydroAssist LogoHydroAssist® is the first mobile app that allows you to record and store your hydrocephalus treatment history and access it when you need it from your mobile device or through your computer or laptop. Perfect for the individual living with hydrocephalus and the caregiver, alike, HydroAssist® allows you to:

  • Enter your current hydrocephalus treatments, including shunts, ETV, ETV/CPC and assistive devices, like an anti-siphon device.
  • Store multiple active treatments, for those patients treated with more than one shunt or with a shunt and an ETV.
  • Record changes to each individual treatment, including a setting change to your programmable shunt valve, a setting change to your anti-siphon device (ASD), or a surgical revision to your shunt.
  • Make treatments inactive, allowing you to maintain a history of your past treatments.
  • Store images from your MRI and/or Cat scan.
  • Keep a robust symptom diary, including a headache tracker, to monitor symptoms over time.
  • Export your treatment history and/or symptom diary to a loved one or member of your medical team.
  • Enter information about yourself or, if you are a caregiver, about the individual with hydrocephalus in the Patient Details section.
  • Store medical and personal contacts for easy communication, particularly in the case of an emergency.
  • Invite authorized users to view your information, allowing parents, spouse, or a caregiver to have your latest information on their mobile device in case of emergency.
  • Access the Hydrocephalus Association Physicians Directory to find a doctor near you, wherever you are in the United States and Canada.
  • And so much more!

Behind the App

HydroAssist® was developed by an adult neurologist, a pediatric neurosurgeon, and a representative from the Hydrocephalus Association. Meet the members of our team. The app was tested by a focus group consisting of individuals living with hydrocephalus, parents, caregivers, medical professionals, and the staff of the Hydrocephalus Association, allowing for feedback and enhancements at each stage of development. We are grateful for the community’s involvement in the development of the app and look forward to continuing to enhance the app with your feedback in the future.

We keep the app free to our users. You can support the continued development of the app through a gift of any amount. We appreciate your support and trust in our team!
