Around 100,000 people in the UK experience a stroke each year and that figure is expected to increase by 50% in the next decade. AI-supported imaging technology has enabled high-quality CT scans to be shared securely and quickly, and is increasing timely referral for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) following strokes caused by blockage of a large artery in the brain.
Six years ago barely a handful of stroke units in England were using AI brain imaging. Now all units are doing so. Over the same period, use of MT has trebled resulting in 1,000 more patients avoiding long-term disability annually. This success has been underpinned by strong local, regional and national collaborations alongside an extensive evaluation and implementation programme led by Health Innovation Oxford and Thames Valley.
Join this webinar to gain insights from regional and national clinical leaders, national commissioners, an industry partner and senior figures from the Health Innovation Network and learn how this approach to successful implementation can be applied in other clinical pathways.
Part of the Innovation Insights webinar series, designed to highlight the latest in health innovation, offering attendees valuable insights into the adoption and spread of innovation within the health and care landscape, this session is for anyone interested in transforming a patient pathway through the introduction of a digital innovation.
