New 3G Device Coming To Market Which Can Detect Strokes
by Richard Kuehn on 12/28/22
I read a story saying that every 40 seconds, someone in the
U.S. has a stroke, a shocking statistic.
Some are massive and easy to recognize.
Others are small and can be undetectable. A recent study of in-hospital strokes found
that most go undetected for more than four hours, which can be very
dangerous. Thankfully, there is a new
product coming to market in 2023 called Neuralert, which the FDA designated a
breakthrough device last year. The pair
of smart wristbands use a proprietary algorithm to track arm asymmetry or
weakness, common symptoms of a stroke.
Neuralert can detect symptoms in as little as 15 minutes, and
automatically alert medical staff.
