AI-Driven Personalized Stroke Care Network for Faster Diagnosis and Treatment

healthTestedTRL 5

Imagine if hospitals could share the 'wisdom' of their patient data without actually sharing the private records themselves. This project builds a secure network where AI learns from many different clinics to predict stroke risks and treatments more accurately. It is like a global brain for doctors that helps them give every patient a tailor-made recovery plan.

The business problem

What needed solving

Stroke care is often fragmented, with inconsistent data and protocols across different hospitals. This leads to slower diagnosis and less personalized treatment, which negatively impacts patient recovery rates.

The solution

What was built

A federated data platform (U-platform) and a Federated Learning infrastructure (FL-platform) for training AI models without sharing raw patient data.

Who can put this to work

HealthTech
SME
Target: AI Medical Software Developer

If you are a software developer dealing with strict data privacy laws—this project developed a Federated Learning platform that allows AI training across 7 top-tier clinical centres without moving sensitive data. This enables the creation of validated, trustworthy AI models for risk prediction.

Healthcare Providers
enterprise
Target: Private Hospital Group

If you are a hospital manager dealing with inconsistent patient care standards—this project developed standardized stroke protocols and digital monitoring tools. This improves professional workflows and patient outcomes across the entire care pathway.

Digital Health
mid-size
Target: Remote Patient Monitoring Company

If you are a tech provider dealing with poor patient engagement after discharge—this project developed digital technologies for real-time monitoring and data visualization. This helps bridge the communication gap between patients and doctors during rehabilitation.

Frequently asked

Quick answers

What is the cost or pricing model for the U-platform?

Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost information is provided.

Can this be scaled to an industrial level?

Yes, the project uses a multi-country federated approach involving 34 partners across 12 countries, designed to set a leading model for stroke management by 2030.

How is the intellectual property and licensing handled?

Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not listed, but the project includes a roadmap for long-term sustainability and exploitation.

What regulatory hurdles are being addressed?

The project has a specific objective (OB5) to develop a roadmap for regulatory compliance and future certification for the AI platform and management cases.

How is the system integrated into existing hospital workflows?

It uses Common Data Models (CMDs) implemented in 7 clinical centres to harmonize data and standardize procedures across the pre-, in-, and post-hospital pathway.

Consortium

Who built it

The consortium is heavily industry-weighted with a 59% industry ratio (20 companies), including 6 SMEs. This strong commercial presence, combined with 12 countries and 34 total partners, suggests a high focus on market viability and practical implementation rather than purely academic research.
