During Brain Awareness Week, 11-17 March, we are focusing on the importance of research in stroke.
Each day we will share some insights into new and exciting stroke research in Europe.
Today we are focusing on a new project called TRUSTroke which is using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve life after stroke for stroke survivors.
Currently, the ability to predict potential future complications that may result in further hospital re-admissions post-stroke is limited. In response, TRUSTroke is developing an advanced technology to help healthcare professionals, patients, and caregivers predict both short- and long-term outcomes of an ischemic stroke.
In this project, the research teams are combining clinical variables with information from patient reports from three different European hospitals, while ensuring privacy and security through adherence to the highest standards and protocols. With the help of AI they are analysing large amounts of data relating to disease progression and potential health risks to ultimately enable increased personalisation and effective long-term stroke management.
The project is specifically looking to reduce risks related to:

Arlene Wilkie, Director General of the Stroke Alliance for Europe said ‘One of the long-term issues faced by stroke survivors is the uncertainty of their future health issues, which includes the possibility of having a second or more strokes. This new technology, using AI, will help doctors and stroke survivors work together to plan for their long-term recovery more effectively after a stroke’.
