Of 110 probable stroke cases, use increased the percentage of patients who had no or few sequelae, from 16% to 48%.
Artificial intelligence helps in decision-making when interpreting brain exams and thus allows patients to “receive the appropriate treatment, in the right place and at the right time”, highlights the ministry.

“Every minute saved in the initial assessment at the hospital of people who present symptoms of stroke can dramatically increase the chances of the patient leaving the hospital in good health”, states in a note the doctor Timothy Ferris, director of transformation at the British National Health Service (NHS).
The Ministry of Health gives as an example the case of Carol Wilson, who in June 2021 suffered intense cramps and quickly lost his vision. An artificial intelligence program made it easier to identify a blood clot in her brain and doctors opted for a thrombectomy, which allowed her to recover without any consequences.
“I was able to sit down and text my family the same day, and come home and walk again two days after having a stroke,” he says. Wilson.

“Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform our healthcare system and allow faster and more accurate diagnoses to ensure the best treatment for patients”, guarantees the Health Minister Steve Barclay, about one of the most delicate medical diagnoses.
