AI brain imaging software deployed by NHS has significantly improved stroke outcomes and functional independence rates in England.
Key Details
- 1NHS England deployed Brainomix 360 Stroke AI software across all stroke centers in summer 2023.
- 2The platform analyzes brain imaging (CT, CTA, CTP, MRI) for tissue damage in suspected stroke patients.
- 3Since deployment, over 60,000 patient cases have used the software.
- 4Time to treatment for stroke patients at hospitals reduced from 140 minutes to 79 minutes (by 1 hour).
- 5The percentage of stroke patients achieving functional independence rose from 16% to 48% (tripled).
- 6Mechanical thrombectomy procedures increased by 50% after software implementation.
