Framework Agreement Description
The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Software in Neuroscience for Stroke Decision Making Support Framework Agreement provides Artificial Intelligence (AI) software that supports the analysis of medical imaging for ischaemic or haemorrhagic strokes; this enables clinicians to diagnose and treat strokes faster and more reliably. Use of AI speeds up diagnostic process, crucial in stroke where interventions are time-dependent, with significant harm and long-term disability caused if left untreated. The framework agreement supports the delivery of better outcomes for patients by helping the NHS access cutting-edge technology that will transform the clinical pathway and creates a simple, compliant commercial solution offering assurance to buyers.
The use of artificial intelligence in the analysis of stroke imagery can make significant differences in providing rapid treatment where required for patients undergoing an ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke. But where do healthcare organisations start when looking to procure these innovative AI technologies? Darrien Bold, National Digital and AI Lead for Stroke at NHS England and NHS Improvement (NHSE/I) & Adam Nickerson from NHS SBS explain.
