A comprehensive agreement for research collaboration on Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications for emergency stroke care applications has been announced.

The AI and deep learning applications will be trained using medical imaging and anonymized patient data from hospital Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems. The applications will use data archives from all major modalities.

MedyMatch Technology (Andover, MA, USA), a data analytics healthcare company announced the partnership with Capital Health (Pennington, NJ, USA). MedyMatch Technology uses artificial intelligence and cognitive analytics to create real-time decision support tools for use in emergency medicine. The goal of the partnership is to develop a decision support tool to improve outcomes for stroke patients. MedyMatch Technology also announced that this is the first in a series of planned partnerships in the US.

Gene Saragnese, chairman and CEO of MedyMatch Technology, said, "MedyMatch is excited to be working with a leading institution like Capital Health which offers advanced radiology services that help support the critical diagnostics needed for its comprehensive stroke center. True innovation in healthcare only comes from the close collaboration between industry and world-class clinicians. Our partnership with Capital Health brings together breakthrough technology in deep learning and clinical expertise that will accelerate the transformation we all desire in healthcare, better care at lower cost. Having access to an archive of anonymized medical imaging data, and understanding the patient outcomes, represents an unprecedented opportunity for the MedyMatch artificial intelligence to self-learn, auto label and tag, hundreds of diseases."
