Crete University researchers win prize for stroke response platform

A platform called “Time Is Brain”, developed by researchers at the Institute of Computer Science (ICS) of the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH), University of Crete, was awarded first prize at the first Hacking Health Hackathon (HHH) competition, it was announced on Tuesday, according to ANA.

Time Is Brain is a complete platform aimed at the efficient management of acute incidents of stroke. It includes distinct applications for paramedics and hospital teams that receive stroke patients, thus reducing the time between the first contact with a health professional and when a patient receives specialised treatment. This is especially important, as the response time can literally save the life of stroke victims or significantly reduce their chances of developing a disability.
