Heuron Launches Mobile App for Emergency Stroke Triage AI Solution ‘Heuron StroCare Suite™’



Heuron, a medical AI startup focused on neurological disorders based in South Korea, has released a mobile application for its emergency stroke triage AI solution, ‘Heuron StroCare Suite™’.

 

Heuron StroCare Suite™ is an AI solution that identifies stroke using non-contrast CT and assists in classifying emergency patients to support medical professionals' diagnoses. It was recently designated as an ‘innovative medical technology’ by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.

 

According to Heuron’s research, the average time from CT scan to the initiation of stroke team treatment was about 26 minutes. However, with Heuron StroCare Suite™, this time is reduced to approximately 15 minutes, representing a 40% decrease.

 

The new mobile app for StroCare Suite™ is designed to notify medical staff of the presence of an emergency patient immediately after the non-contrast CT analysis is completed, further reducing the time to initiate treatment.

 

Medical professionals can check instant alerts on their smartphones or tablets and view analysis results right away. Additionally, the app features a chat function that allows sharing high-resolution analysis images and discussing findings with other medical staff.

 

Dr. Donghoon Shin, CEO of Heuron, stated, “The mobile app allows medical staff to access analysis results immediately, regardless of their location or activities. This capability will enable quicker triage of emergency patients, even down to the minute or second.”

 

Heuron StroCare Suite™ mobile app will be initially implemented in select hospitals this month for research and pilot testing, with plans for nationwide deployment to follow. Heuron StroCare Suite™ has already begun non-reimbursed prescriptions at Soonchunhyang University Bucheon Hospital and is expanding its application in clinical settings.

 

Dr, Shin added, “The simultaneous designation of Heuron StroCare Suite™ innovative medical technology and launch of mobile app are expected to generate additional synergies. We will continue to strive to ensure that our solutions help safeguard the golden hour for stroke patients in emergency rooms and facilitate faster treatment.”
