Stroke is one of the major causes of death and disability. The lifetime risk for stroke is 1 in 4. Once a first stroke occurred, the risk of a second devastating stroke is high. However, stroke risk factors are well known. 15 % are potentially preventable secondary strokes. The team Prediction 2020 developed an AI-based image analysis solution to predict the individual risk of stroke.

Furthermore, the team developed a simulation of the brain vascular system to predict outcomes of therapy alternatives to enable physicians and patients to make informed therapy choices. The Prediction 2020 team consists of a neurosurgeon and lawyer, computational neurologists, AI experts and senior software developers.  

After the BIH Digital Health Accelerator Program, the project was part of Startupbootcamp Digital Health Berlin and was invited to join the “Readiness Program” of the German Accelerator Life Sciences, and was partner in several national and international research grants with industry and academic solutions.
