Be ahead of your time

When stroke strikes, be ahead of your time.Advance stroke care and deliver outcomes that matter to patients

Timely and optimal stroke care is crucial

For stroke patients, time is of the essence. Every minute saved can positively impact patient outcomes. That’s why it’s key to save time along the entire stroke pathway – from the onset of stroke to treatment and follow-up.

“Being faster is not only better for ‘time is brain’; it also helps to open more vessels.”1

Stroke patients tell their stories – about how fast care saved their lives

Did you know that nearly 60% of all new ischemic strokes happen in people younger than 70, and that 7% occur in people under 44?2 Watch the incredible stories of Stéphane, Zosia, Sebastian, and Gerald – and learn how fast response and treatment can make a difference to a good recovery.

Stroke can happen to anyone

Zosia, a 14-year-old student, suffered a stroke during a school day. Her story shows that a rapid response from the surrounding community is critical to the outcome of stroke. Watch her story to learn how Justin Singer, MD, was able to quickly treat and restore blood flow to her brain.

    Stroke solutions

    The clinical stroke pathway

    As your partner in stroke management, we keep you ahead of your time. Our advanced technologies let you speed up stroke care and transform care delivery along the entire pathway – from stroke screening and pre-hospital diagnosis and care to in-hospital diagnosis and treatment. Explore our offerings for stroke care!

    Optimal treatment across all steps of the clinical pathway is crucial for good patient outcome.

      Clear image quality for confident diagnosis and treatment

      To quickly and confidently diagnose stroke, assess its impact, and perform mechanical thrombectomy, you need clear information. All our CT and MRI scanners as well as angiography systems let you see even the smallest anatomical details in excellent quality. See for yourself!

      Native syngo DynaCT Sine Spin

      syngo DynaCT Sine Spin improves the image quality of cranial Flat-Detector CT (FDCT) scans, especially in the posterior fossa and the basal part of the skull. syngo DynaCT Sine Spin reduces artifacts caused by bony structures.

      SPINNERS
      Siemens Healthineers is the grant giver of the investigator-initiated SPINNERS study, a clinical trial planned and performed by Prof. Marios-Nikos Psychogios, University Hospital Basel, Switzerland and Dr. Adam S. Arthur, University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center and Semmes-Murphey Clinic, Memphis, US.

      The study is designed to evaluate whether FDCT imaging with syngo DynaCT Sine Spin has likewise high diagnostic accuracy compared to Multi-Slice CT (MSCT) in detecting intracranial bleeding.

                We at Siemens Healthineers are committed to helping healthcare providers globally to succeed in today’s dynamic environment. We are inspired to transform the way things are done – because we want what is best for our people, our customers, and ultimately the health of mankind.

                Connecting data and people to improve patient outcomes – digitalizing healthcare
                Digitalizing healthcare is the key enabler for expanding precision medicine transforming care delivery, and improving patient experience. Ultimately, digitalizing healthcare enables providers to achieve better outcomes at lower costs. To make this possible, four steps are critical:

                • Manage data as a strategic asset, e.g. with the support of technology like the digital twin
                • Empower data-driven decisions
                • Connect care teams and patients
                • Build a learning health system, e.g. using AI technology
                Stroke care - Corindus

                  Connecting more people to advanced care –
                  image-guided endovascular robotics

                  With image-guided, robotic-assisted therapy, we are transforming the way endovascular care is delivered. Together, advanced imaging and robotics with assisted automation enable physicians to treat patients more precisely – With our vision to reach more people and expedite time to treatment, we’ll bring essential therapy to heart attack and stroke patients where they are, when they need it.

                  • Telerobotics will expand access to care
                  • Future technology integration will improve workflow and patient outcomes
                  • Specialized capabilities make treatment safer and more precise
                  • Innovations create a safer environment

                  Clinical trials on stroke

                  In recent years, various clinical trials have shown the advantages of performing endovascular thrombectomy in patients with a high stroke score as well as of one-stop stroke care. Find out more!
                  Stroke care – DAWN trial

                  The DAWN trial shows that time alone shouldn’t be a disqualifier for endovascular thrombectomy. For example: 48.6% of patients in the thrombectomy group experienced less disability, compared to 13% in the control group who received standard medical care.4
