With an extensive portfolio of stroke care solutions, Philips will use NICO.LAB’s StrokeViewer solution to streamline the stroke workflow and enhance outcomes in patients.

StrokeViewer is a Cloud-based, end-to-end artificial intelligence (AI)-driven stroke triage and management platform which assesses computerised tomography (CT) scan data using AI and identifies large vessel occlusion and its position.

The solution can also share the analysis with doctors at primary stroke centres as well as intervention centres.

The latest innovations of Philips’ Image-Guided Therapy Angiography Suite with 3D visualisation and measurement tool, SmartCT, help patients to receive treatment rapidly.

Furthermore, Philips is studying a new method to expedite stroke treatment for early time-window stroke patients, which falls under six hours of stroke onset. This approach involves bypass of diagnostic CT or magnetic resonance (MR) scans at specific types of stroke centres.

Meanwhile, Philips enrolled the first subject in the WE-TRUST clinical trial, which will evaluate the effect of a Direct to Angio Suite workflow on advancing stroke patient care.

This technique can aid in fast patient routing while the use of the SmartCT imaging features of the Azurion Angio Suite can enable additional diagnoses to confirm treatment eligibility.

The multi-centre, randomised, controlled, prospective, open-label, blinded-endpoint WE-TRUST trial will enol a total of 564 subjects at 15 centres globally.

Royal Philips image-guided therapy chief business leader Bert van Meurs said: “By expanding our offerings in stroke care we are able to provide an integrated portfolio of intelligent solutions across the full stroke care pathway, giving clinicians the right information during every critical step.

“With our integrated portfolio, and by using validated AI and Cloud technologies, we can facilitate collaborative care to optimise the stroke care pathway from diagnosis to treatment.”

Last week, Philips and the Spanish National Center for Cardiovascular Research started a collaborative research project for creating a new cardiac MR imaging technique.
