The Provision of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Software in Neuroscience for Stroke Decision Making Support

NHS SBS is seeking to put in place a comprehensive framework agreement for the supply of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Software in Neuroscience for Stroke Decision Making Support. Stroke is an often debilitating or fatal clinical event. However, if the stroke is analysed early and well using medical imaging, it is possible for clinicians to significantly improve outcomes for patients. This saves lives and improves people's quality of life. However, getting these treatment decisions wrong can lead to further strokes and disability for patients. Stroke is one of the most time critical conditions and may only be reliably diagnosed and treated following a brain scan; usually a CT scan or MRI scan. This framework aims to provide AI solutions that support the analysis of medical imaging for ischaemic or haemorrhagic strokes and to support clinicians diagnose and treat strokes faster and more reliably.
