The latest start-up from the Isis Software Incubator puts the expertise of a stroke assessment team into the hands of any doctor in an emergency department. There is only a four and a half hour window from the time which a stroke occurs when a clot busting thrombolytic treatment can be given. Quick, expert assessment and successful treatment of stroke patients saves an average of £10,000 per patient per year and gives the patient a fuller life.
