1.8M+ strokes annually in India. Treatment cannot commence until stroke type
(hemorrhagic vs ischemic) is confirmed — CT scanners unavailable in ambulances.
Rapid stroke-type identification at the bedside
Designed for ambulances, rural hospitals, and emergency care settings
Identifies stroke type in under 60 seconds, life-saving intervention
Brings advanced stroke diagnostics closer to every patient
India records 1.5–1.8 million new strokes every year, one every 20 seconds. Stroke is the 4th leading cause of death and 5th leading cause of disability. Critically, treatment cannot commence until the stroke type (hemorrhagic vs ischemic) is confirmed which requires a CT scan unavailable in most ambulances and rural hospitals.
NeuroHawk is a helmet-type wearable device that distinguishes hemorrhagic from ischemic stroke at the bedside in under 1 minute with no CT scanner needed. It enables clinicians to start correct medication during the critical "Golden Hour," minimising brain damage and preventing permanent disability.
