New Zealand researchers are launching a study to assess the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) stroke imaging technology, aiming to reduce treatment delays and improve intervention rates for stroke patients.
The project, funded by the Health Research Council, will evaluate whether AI based imaging tools can speed up the stroke assessment workflow and provide better access to treatment.
Consultant neurologist at Wellington Hospital Anna Ranta is leading the research and says that delays in stroke treatment occur most often when patients present at smaller hospitals.
