Application that detects stroke symptoms hits the market using AI

A Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of ​​technology that seeks to create machines capable of performing tasks that normally need human intelligence, such as making decisions, recognizing patterns, learning and solving problems. AI is powered by algorithms that allow machines to learn from data and improve their skills over time.

understand the stroke

Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA) is a serious medical condition in which blood flow to the brain is interrupted. There are two main types of stroke: ischemic and hemorrhagic. Ischemic stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked by a blood clot, while hemorrhagic stroke occurs when an artery in the brain ruptures and causes damage.

Stroke symptoms include weakness or paralysis on one side of the body, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, blurred or double vision, loss of balance or coordination, and unexplained severe headache apparent. It is important to seek immediate medical attention if someone has signs or symptoms of stroke.

The FAST.AI application uses artificial intelligence and detects symptoms through images and sensors. Studies with 270 patients in Bulgaria have shown that the technology can accurately detect facial asymmetry 97% of the time and arm weakness 72% of the time.

But after all, how does the app contribute to humans?

After suffering a stroke, victims may recover better if they are treated within three hours of the event. During this time, the patient may be given medications that break up the clots that cause parts of the brain to lose oxygen. Thus, with the app, the victim would be saved faster.
