The technology speeds up the triage process by providing instant access to diagnostic imaging, accompanied by preliminary reports for clinicians to quickly verify and act upon – significantly improving response times and outcomes.

The technology also flags suspected strokes in patients that may not show traditional clinical signs, such as speech problems or a droopy face or eye.

It means patients can receive potentially life-saving treatments earlier.

Since its implementation at Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust in May 2024, the technology has meant patients were able to be diagnosed within 40-60 minutes, which is up to 1 hour faster than diagnoses without AI.
