1. A pressure sensor component comprising:

  • a pressure sensing port for containing a fluid for pressure sensing; and

    a pressure sensor for measuring a pressure of the fluid in the pressure sensing port, wherein the pressure measured is indicative of a patient'"'"'s cerebrospinal fluid pressure;

    wherein the pressure sensor component includes a digital processor in electrical communication with the pressure sensor, the pressure sensor component being configured to calculate at least two selected from the group consisting of resting pressure, outflow resistance, and pressure volume index based on the cerebrospinal fluid pressure.
