AI-Powered Virtual Twins for Personalized Stroke Prevention and Recovery Management

healthPrototypeTRL 3

Imagine having a digital copy of your own heart and brain that doctors can use to test treatments before they actually give them to you. This technology predicts how a person with an irregular heartbeat might suffer a stroke and how they will recover. It's like a flight simulator for medicine, allowing doctors to find the best path to health without guessing.

The business problem

What needed solving

Healthcare systems struggle with the high cost and disability rates of AF-related strokes because treatments are not personalized. Current methods fail to predict individual risks and recovery paths accurately.

The solution

What was built

Virtual twin AI models and interoperable decision-support tools for the AF-related stroke pathway.

Who can put this to work

Medical Software
SME
Target: Health-tech AI developer

If you are a software company dealing with generic health apps — this project developed virtual twin AI models that provide individual risk and outcome predictions. This allows for the creation of precision decision-support tools for clinicians.

Pharmaceuticals
enterprise
Target: Drug developer for cardiovascular health

If you are a pharma company dealing with expensive clinical trials — this project developed in-silico simulated trials. This can accelerate research by testing drug impacts on virtual heart and brain models before human testing.

Healthcare Providers
mid-size
Target: Private rehabilitation clinic

If you are a clinic dealing with unpredictable patient recovery rates — this project developed models to optimize rehabilitation strategies. This helps in tailoring physiotherapy to individual needs to reduce long-term disability.
