On the fourth day of Brain Awareness Week, we are shining a spotlight on TRUSTroke.  

This project is using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve stroke recovery by helping to predict future health risks. Stroke survivors often face unpredictable complications that may lead to hospital readmissions. The research team behind this EU Horizon funded project are working with stroke survivors in three European hospitals to develop an AI-driven system to personalise treatment and reduce risks such as serious post-stroke health issues, mobility challenges and recurring strokes. 

A key part of the project is an easy-to-use app, with new functionality co-designed with patients, that keeps stroke survivors connected with their healthcare professionals. Patients can track their progress and share updates, allowing healthcare professionals to tailor care more effectively.  

“Because this app is being optimised with input from stroke survivors, it will be accessible and simple to use,” says Carolina Lauzen, UX Designer at Nacar Design. 

Arlene Wilkie, Director General of the Stroke Alliance for Europe, highlights the impact: “This new technology will help healthcare professionals and stroke survivors work together on long-term recovery plans.”  

With AI and patients at its core, TRUSTroke is paving the way for improved lives after stroke.
