Brainomix e-Stroke support for emergency treatment decisions
Northumbria used Brainomix almost 60 times in early 2021 to support stroke decisions
Problem
Stroke specialists needed to interpret scans quickly and coordinate transfers for thrombectomy. Sharing images between hospitals had sometimes delayed decisions.
Approach
The trust began using Brainomix e-Stroke in November 2020. The software analysed brain scans and flagged abnormalities for specialists. Its cloud service shared scan analysis between teams considering treatment or transfer to Newcastle.
Results
Takeaway
Clinicians reported quicker assessment and less uncertainty, but the trust did not quantify the treatment-time reduction. Specialists continued to check the software's findings against their own assessment.
