SAN FRANCISCO – June 30, 2021 – Viz.ai has been awarded a CE Mark for its artificial intelligence (AI) powered stroke care software, affirming its conformity with European health, safety and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area. Viz.ai’s intelligent care coordination system connects multidisciplinary care teams earlier, coordinates care and puts patients first with the company’s software suite, which has been clinically proven to synchronize stroke care, decrease time to treatment and greatly improve patient outcomes.
In the European Union (EU), stroke is the second most common cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability, but only an estimated 1.9 percent receive a potentially lifesaving, minimally invasive endovascular procedure that removes blood clots. Viz.ai’s flagship solution, Viz LVO, uses AI to automatically detect suspected large vessel occlusion (LVO) strokes on computed tomography angiography (CTA) imaging and directly alert on-call stroke specialists about potentially treatable patients in a standalone or multi-hospital network.
