PARIS, 18/11/2025 (informazione.news - comunicati stampa - salute e benessere)

Founded in 2022 by a team of engineers, clinicians, and former investors, AI-Stroke enables ambulance crews and A&E teams to screen for stroke using only a smartphone. The AI analyses facial symmetry, arm movement, and speech in a 30-second video, detecting stroke signs within seconds — well before CT or MRI scans.

Built on the world's largest clinically annotated stroke-video dataset — 20,000 videos and 6 million images — AI-Stroke's system detects 2 times more true stroke cases in a study with 2,000 paramedic staff. It aligns with existing U.K. and international protocols such as FAST and CPSS, ensuring effortless adoption by emergency services.

AI-Stroke also welcomed 4 world-renowned stroke experts to its Medical Advisory Board:

"This round strengthens our mission to equip every ambulance and emergency department with AI-driven neurological support," said Cédric Javault, CEO of AI-Stroke. "By shortening the time to treatment, we can save more lives and improve outcomes worldwide." Simon Jiafeng Li, Chief Business Officer, added: "With new funds and this distinguished advisory team on board, we're ready to make AI-powered stroke detection a new standard of care." Constant Beroulle, Investor at Newfund Heka, commented: "AI-Stroke delivers a smart, easy-to-adopt solution to a critical, yet underserved medical need — the pre-hospital triaging of stroke. We're proud to back the team as they scale internationally and bring their technology to the market."
