Each year 15 million people worldwide suffer from stroke. 5 million die and another 5 million are permanently disabled. These patients need immediate attention because blood supply to areas of the brain has been blocked by a blood clots(Ischemic stroke 80%), or the patient is experiencing brain hemorrhage(Hemorrhagic stroke 20%). Every minute counts because this life threatening event could result in permanent brain damage or death if not treated immediately. Stroke kills 130 thousand Americans each year, of which only 3% receive tPA.

Tissue plasminogen activator (abbreviated tPA ) is a protein to breakdown blood clots must be administered within 4.5 hours from time of onset of symptoms. However, tPA cannot be administered if the stroke is a result of a brain hemorrhage. tPA is also not usually effective in larger clots.

Therefore, it is crucial to get in touch with a Physician specially trained in treatment of Stroke to determine the cause immediately.

More important it is crucial for specialists to get access to CT or MRI scans fast, to decrease the time to treatment. "door to needle" time is crucial for the patient to decrease brain loss and add to brain time.

This is where Bedside Viewer's superior technology comes to play as a "disruptive" technology which manipulates images at light's speed using gaming technology and permissive buffering to eliminate any delays.

Our technology comes not only superior in quality but also affordable in price and therefore hospitals, Neurointerventionsts and neurologists are excited about working with us. Bedside Viewer's technology is already in use at hospitals.
