During Brain Awareness Week, 11 – 17 March, we once again focus on the importance of research in stroke.
This year, we highlight four EU-funded research projects we are involved in that are developing innovative solutions to improving stroke care.

TENSION: trial reveals that thrombectomy is safe to use in patients who have had a severe stroke
Results published in the final stages of the TENSION trial showed that the stroke treatment know as thrombectomy can be safely used in a larger number of stroke patients than it is currently being used.

TENSION has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 754640.
TRUSTroke: new EU project uses AI for predictive ischemic stroke management
Collaborating research teams from three European hospitals hope to securely provide clinical information from patient reports, using artificial intelligence, to identify patterns in disease progression and health risks associated with strokes. It is hoped that this research will help predict the short- and long-term impact of ischemic stroke and enable doctors and patients plan more effective and personalised long-term care.

TRUSTroke has received funding from the European Union in the callHorizon-hlth-2022-stayhlth-01-two-stage under grant agreement No.101080564
ANGIE: using nano-robots to deliver targeted drugs and unblock blood vessels to fight stroke from within
The research process led to the development of 3D-printed re-constructions of patient’s brain vessels based on their MRI scans. The accuracy of these brain 3D models has been recognised in the medical community for their ability to facilitate a realistic and safe environment for doctors treating stroke to hone their skills, which could lead to earlier and more extensive training.

The project is funded by the European Commission under the Grant Agreement number 952152.
VALIDATE: Using Artificial Intelligence to improve outcomes for stroke patients
The VALIDATE team are leveraging datasets encompassing thousands of patient profiles and state-of-the-art AI models, to develop and validate a clinical decision support system in an App format. The App aims to empower healthcare professionals in choosing the optimal treatment strategy tailored to each patient’s unique circumstances to improve stroke outcomes.
