An Israeli startup has developed a wearable device that can predict the likelihood of an imminent stroke through changes in the carotid artery’s blood flow, potentially helping early intervention and preventing disablity.
Strokes are most commonly caused by a clot blocking the essential supply of blood to the brain, and according to the World Health Organization are the second leading cause of death and the leading cause of disability across the globe.
Over 100 million people (opens in a new tab) have experienced a stroke worldwide, with one in four adults experiencing one in their lifetime. And for 50 percent of them (opens in a new tab), that means some form of lasting disability.
Avertto says its StrokeAlert device is the first of its kind, using cutting-edge pulse wave analysis technology to monitor changes in the blood flow to the brain and alert for a potential stroke.
Avertto developed a wearable device that can predict the likelihood of an imminent stroke to help save crucial treatment time. The company’s Chief Business Officer Limor Prigan is a Technion alum.
