AI At The Point Of Care: Startup's Portable Scanner Diagnoses Brain Stroke In Minutes
NVIDIA News, December 5th, 2022
Australia-based Inception member EMVision's lightweight brain-scanning device is built using the NVIDIA Jetson edge AI platform and NVIDIA DGX systems.
For every minute that a stroke is left untreated, the average patient loses nearly 2 million neurons. This means that for each hour in which treatment fails to occur, the brain loses as many neurons as it does in more than three and a half years of normal aging.
With one of the world's first portable brain scanners for stroke diagnosis, Australia-based healthcare technology developer EMVision is on a mission to enable quicker triage and treatment to reduce such devastating impacts.
