Stroke care
Time is life
Every two seconds, someone has a stroke. It happens in an instant – the clock starts ticking. Every minute treatment is delayed, 1.9 million brain cells are lost. Philips connects data, technology and care teams to give back time across the stroke pathway. Because every second saved can make the difference between being alive and living.

Demonstrated results in stroke care
109%
faster reconstruction time [1]
When every decision depends on timely insight, faster access to spectral results matters. Verida helps you move from acquisition to reading faster with 109% faster reconstruction time of spectral results. [1]

more LVO detection [2]
Wherever you are, StrokeViewer gives you access to stroke patient data on your handheld devices. And when time is critical, it sends a notification when it detects large vessel occlusions, so you can act faster. In one study, StrokeViewer helped detect 20% more large vessel occlusions that were initially missed. [2]

less preparation time [3]
When you need to treat fast, simpler preparation can help save valuable time. Azurion with SmartCT helps teams set up the cath lab for a stroke intervention in one tap with ProcedureCards – supporting a 12% reduction in in-lab preparation time at St. Antonius Hospital. [3]

greater Atrial fibrillation (AF) detection [4]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a key risk factor for stroke. Philips ePatch [5] extended Holter provides up to 14 days [6] of recording that is simple, actionable and efficient. Compared with 24 hour traditional Holter, 14 day ePatch extended Holter demonstrates 4 times greater AF detection. [4]

Supporting care teams when every minute matters
Stroke care hinges on fast decisive action. With innovations in diagnostic imaging, image-guided therapy and remote monitoring, we help you give more patients the care they need, when they need it most.
Move eligible patients to treatment faster
Direct to Angio Suite workflows bring eligible acute stroke patients directly to the angio suite for diagnosis and treatment. A single center study showed a reduction in door-to-groin time of 70 to 16 minutes compared to conventional workflow, associated with better 90-days patient outcome. [7]
Accelerate acute stroke triage
When the clock is ticking, radiologists need insights, not noise. With AI-enabled solutions, we help you enhance confidence in faster image reviews. Add your preferred third-party AI apps into your workflow. Advanced Visualization Workspace offers CT Brain Perfusion and CT ASPECTS, sent straight to PACS – while detecting and prioritizing acute ICH and LVO cases from CT-scan imaging within 20 seconds. [8]
Maximize every minute in stroke care
Spend less time managing equipment issues and more time supporting care. Flexible Philips service agreements maximize equipment uptime and empower your teams with proactive and predictive monitoring, with up to 99% uptime.
