Micro-X has released a virtual reality demonstration of its mobile stroke diagnosis technology. The video provides a look at how the system can be mounted within an ambulance, which enables treatment protocols to begin earlier. The device is still in development.
“We are very keen to see the Micro-X device make it to field trials later this year. If successful, we will be able to scan stroke patients at the scene of their stroke in what will be a world first, using a lightweight, portable brain scanning device,” said Australian Stroke Alliance co-chair Professor Stephen Davis.
It is anticipated the device will weigh less than 70 kg and the Head CT will contain 21 x-ray carbon nanotubes.
Micro-X CEO Kingsley Hall said, “What we are achieving at Micro-X is phenomenal. With stroke the second largest cause of death globally and numbers increasing, our ambition is for our technology to improve and save the lives of people around the world. In Australia, we aim to transform how stroke diagnosis and management occurs through truly mobile CT, democratizing access to treatment whether patients are in urban, rural or remote communities.”
