Empowering physicians to provide every stroke treatment with the right treatment in time, with StrokeFlow

Project description

Innovative solutions for accurate stroke treatment

Every minute of delay in stroke treatment can increase the risk of death or disability. Stroke care specialists face significant challenges in providing effective treatment because they often lack the ability to quickly share accurate patient data with colleagues and may not have readily accessible information about the blood clot causing the stroke. As a result, stroke patients are often treated using a one-size-fits-all approach that may not be optimal for their individual needs. The EU-funded StrokeFlow project will develop ground-breaking technology and innovative solutions to enable physicians to treat every stroke patient in time with precise treatment. Overall, the project will improve the speed and accuracy of patient data sharing and provide better access to information about the underlying causes of strokes.

Objective

Stroke patients represent the most time critical field of emergency medicine. Every minute counts when it comes to stroke – every minute delay in treatment leads to 22 healthy days lost. No comprehensive solution exists that solves the life-threatening bottlenecks in the complex stroke acute care chain, resulting in 1/3 of patients dead and 1/3 becoming disabled.

The main challenge is that stroke care specialists are essentially “treating in the dark”. They lack the speed to share accurate patient data in real-time with colleagues, and they have no readily accessible information at all about the blood clot causing the stroke. All stroke patients are inevitably treated ineffectively in a “one size fits all” approach as physicians “go in blind” every intervention.

It is our mission to empower physicians to treat every stroke patient in time with the right treatment. With StrokeFlow, we for the first time enable this with ground-breaking technology and innovative solutions.
