DEMO: Brain CT Scan Analysis for Stroke Detection

Sample Rules

CT Scan
  1. Flag for immediate intervention if
    • CT scan shows a hyperdense area in an arterial territory suggestive of acute ischemic stroke and
    • The patient presents with sudden onset neurological symptoms
Blood Levels
  1. Monitor closely for hyperglycemia-related complications if
    • Blood glucose levels are above 180 mg/dL in a patient presenting with acute stroke symptoms and
    • Age is greater than 25
Hypertension
  1. Initiate blood pressure management to reduce the risk of further complications if
    • A patient with a history of hypertension has a blood pressure above 150/90 mmHg during an acute stroke episode
Diabetes
  1. If a patient with diabetes has a hemoglobin A1c level above 7% during an acute stroke episode, initiate closer monitoring and optimization of glucose control to reduce the risk of recurrent strokes.

FIRU Engine

FIRU Engine tests the patients' brain CT scan data, vital signs, laboratory tests, medical history against predefined rules for stroke detection & management and display the results for each patient.
