Saving lives for millions of stroke victims – the Golden Hour

  • Nearly 2 million brain cells die per minute during an ischemic stroke

==> picture [6 x 7] intentionally omitted <==

  • Three out of four strokes are clots – diagnostic standard is using CT to rule out any bleeding - clot-busting drugs can then be administered

==> picture [6 x 7] intentionally omitted <==

  • Early diagnosis to commence treatment in the ambulance – saves lives

==> picture [6 x 7] intentionally omitted <==

  • Growing mobile stroke units hampered by limits of current technology

==> picture [6 x 7] intentionally omitted <==

  • conventional CT is too bulky, too heavy, too expensive, too unreliable

Market opportunity for mobile stroke diagnosis is US$5B

  • 48,000 Road Ambulances in North America and 60,000 in Europe

==> picture [6 x 7] intentionally omitted <==

  • Air ambulances and other mobile healthcare applications
