Teaming up to improve lives for stroke patients
Effective stroke management connects the dots between caregivers at critical moments in stroke care pathways. We're with you, focused on making a life-saving difference for your patients.
Improving access to stroke care
Pioneering treatments are making a huge difference to the lives of stroke patients – but not everyone has access to them. That’s why we’re working tirelessly with leading experts, clinicians, and governments to bring life-saving care to more people, in more places, around the world.
Why collaboration matters in stroke care
Saving more patients from the devastating effects of stroke depends on getting them to the operating room quickly. We help you to speed up stroke care collaboration by solving critical bottlenecks in the care pathway, to ensure that your patients get treated faster and have a better chance of returning to their normal life.
Overcoming the barriers we see in stroke management, together
Complexity holds back speed in stroke patient management. A network of separate yet highly interdependent workflows must work fluidly together. Gaps in information, communication and access to stroke expertise can cause delays that have tragic consequences for stroke patients. Our innovations are designed to support better teamwork and collaboration, providing the information and tools that help you deliver time-sensitive, life-saving care.
Advancing stroke care
We bridge the gaps between caregivers across the stroke care pathway – at each vital step. By rapidly providing valuable insights at key moments, our integrated stroke solutions reduce the impact of stroke events.
Helping you connect the dots across stroke management
Reduce uncertainty at first contact
Support faster time to treatment
Improve treatment outcomes
Discover the potential of DTAS workflows
Despite a broader window of eligibility for mechanical thrombectomy, one third of stroke patients still become ineligible due to time lost.3
We are pioneering Direct to Angio Suite (DTAS) workflows to
drastically reduce stroke treatment time and improve
outcomes for these patients. Follow our progress during the
WE-TRUST clinical trial.
Together we are making a difference in stroke patient management
"The value for the patient is created across the full cycle of care – from their prehospital experience, throughout their time in the hospital, as they are teed-up for discharge, and during their recovery period at home.”
