University Hospitals of North Midlands Trust: Artificial intelligence Revolutionising Stroke Care and Improving Stroke Thrombectomy Access

The University Hospitals of North Midlands is transforming its stroke diagnostic pathway through the integration of pioneering AI technology. The introduction of the RAPID AI platform, a cutting-edge perfusion-based diagnostic tool, significantly enhances the treatment window for stroke patients, allowing for mechanical thrombectomy interventions up to 24 hours from symptom onset. This is a substantial improvement compared to the previous six-hour window. Key benefits in stroke diagnosis and treatment include extended treatment windows and improved recovery rates.
