AI-Powered Software for Personalized Stroke Treatment and Rapid Clot Analysis

healthPilotedTRL 7

Imagine a doctor trying to fix a plumbing leak in a dark room without knowing where the clog is. This technology acts like a high-tech flashlight and map, using AI to show exactly what a blood clot looks like from a standard scan. It helps doctors pick the right tool for the job immediately, rather than guessing with a one-size-fits-all approach.

The business problem

What needed solving

Stroke care currently relies on a one-size-fits-all approach because physicians lack real-time, patient-specific data about blood clots. This delay and lack of precision lead to high mortality and disability rates.

The solution

What was built

An AI-powered software platform that automatically analyzes blood clots from standard CT scans and a cloud-agnostic integration layer for hospitals.

Who can put this to work

Healthcare Technology
enterprise
Target: Medical Imaging Software Provider

If you are a software provider dealing with slow diagnostic workflows — this project developed an AI-powered platform that derives advanced diagnostic information from routine scans. This allows for faster treatment decisions in time-critical emergencies.

Hospital Management
enterprise
Target: Private Hospital Group

If you are a hospital group dealing with high disability rates in stroke patients — this project developed a regulatory-ready solution that reduces the time to intervention. This helps prevent the loss of 22 healthy life-days per minute of delay.

Cloud Computing
mid-size
Target: Health-Tech Cloud Infrastructure Provider

If you are a cloud provider dealing with rigid medical data silos — this project developed a scalable, cloud-agnostic platform. It demonstrates a pathway for seamless integration into existing hospital workflows.
