AI Stroke raises $4.6M seed for pre-CT large vessel occlusion triage AI — Singapore-based company targets emergency stroke triage
Summary
AI Stroke raised a $4.6 million seed round to advance their AI-powered pre-CT stroke triage platform for emergency settings. The Singapore-based company uses physiological signals including EEG, ECG, and vital signs to identify large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke candidates before CT scanning is performed, enabling faster triage decisions and reducing time-to-treatment for the most severe and treatable strokes. The $4.6M will fund clinical validation of the AI triage algorithm and regulatory submissions in Southeast Asian and international markets where CT capacity is a bottleneck.
Why it matters
Pre-CT LVO stroke identification would be most valuable in the 80%+ of global emergency departments that lack 24/7 CT access or the CT-to-treatment workflow infrastructure of comprehensive stroke centers. A physiological signal AI that identifies LVO stroke before imaging could trigger immediate transfer protocols for patients who would otherwise wait hours before appropriate treatment, potentially tripling the proportion of LVO patients who receive thrombectomy within the treatment window.
