Huntington Hospital, a specialist in stroke care, has collaborated with Viz.ai to launch its first US FDA approved computer-aided triage system in the Los Angeles area, it was reported on Wednesday.

Huntington Hospital has installed this applied artificial intelligence-based technology to help facilitate early access to the most advanced stroke care. Viz.ai solutions is intended to enable Huntington Hospital to further improve the power of its stroke care team through rapid detection and notification of suspected LVO strokes and allow stroke specialists to securely communicate to synchronise care and determine the optimal patient treatment decision.

Arbi Ohanian, MD, medical director of Huntington Hospital's Stroke Program, Huntington Hospital, said, 'With stroke, time is brain. Viz.ai's applied artificial intelligence solutions have been developed by top stroke clinicians and technical experts in the world and we are excited to be able to bring these transformational technologies to Huntington Hospital and our community. It truly changes the way that we deliver stroke care which we believe will result in improved outcomes for our patients.'
