Fast diagnosis*
The UK National Health Service has been saving the lives of stroke patients across the country using AI to diagnose strokes.
Early-stage analysis of the technology, which received funding from the first round of the government's AI in Health and Care Awards, shows it can reduce the time between presenting with a stroke and treatment by more than 60 minutes, and is associated with a tripling in the number of stroke patients recovering with no or only slight disability - defined as achieving functional independence - from 16 percent to 48 percent.
Health and Social Care Secretary Steve Barclay said: "AI has the potential to transform our NHS - delivering faster, more accurate diagnoses and making sure patients can get the treatment they need, when they need it."
NHS England Director of Transformation Dr Timothy Ferris said: "Every minute saved during the initial hospital assessment of people with stroke-like symptoms can dramatically improve a patient's chance of leaving hospital in good health."
