London: An artificial intelligence tool which quickly analyses brain scans of stroke patients has helped boost chances of full recovery since being launched across England, the public health service said on Tuesday.
The technology analyses brain scans to diagnose the type and severity of the stroke and "helps doctors make faster decisions about the right course of treatment", National Health Service (NHS) England said in a press release.
It was rolled out in over 100 NHS stroke centres last year and has "potentially helped thousands of patients fully recover from a stroke since".
The AI technology can crucially reduce the time between a patient being admitted to hospital to receiving life-saving treatment by 60 minutes, according to early-stage analysis.
It has also been shown to triple the likelihood of recovery without disability, from 16 percent to 48 percent, according to the health service.
