In a world where every minute counts during a stroke, Brainomix’s AI-powered platform is transforming emergency care by slashing decision-making time from hours to minutes. The company’s Brainomix 360 Stroke platform processes a patient scan every three minutes and delivers results in under one minute—enabling frontline clinicians in rural and underserved centers to instantly identify stroke patients and determine eligibility for life-saving treatments like thrombectomy. What sets this innovation apart isn’t just speed, but clinical validation: a landmark Lancet Digital Health study showed the AI doubled the number of patients selected for mechanical thrombectomy, reduced decision time by nearly an hour, and tripled functional recovery rates from 16% to 48%. The secret? Starting not with technology, but with a deep, evidence-driven understanding of unmet clinical needs. By embedding their solution into existing hospital workflows—seamlessly integrating with PACS and EMR systems—and building trust through 56+ clinical publications and real-world deployment across 350+ sites, Brainomix has achieved enterprise-scale adoption in Europe and is now scaling aggressively in the U.S. and beyond. Their success stems from a rare alignment: a founder-led team rooted in neuroscience, a relentless focus on clinical impact, and a strategic ecosystem approach that partners with pharma, device makers, and healthcare systems to amplify value.

The Stroke Crisis and the Need for Speed
Introduces the critical challenge in stroke care: up to 80% of eligible patients miss life-saving treatments due to delays in diagnosis and decision-making, especially in rural and underserved areas.
From Lab to Life-Saving AI: The Brainomix Vision
Michaelis Papadakis shares how his neuroscience background and experience at Oxford’s preclinical stroke lab led to founding Brainomix with a mission to close the gap between research and clinical impact.
How Brainomix 360 Stroke Works in Real Time
Explains the platform’s zero-click, real-time AI processing of CT scans, automatic alerts to clinicians, and integration with mobile devices and imaging workstations.
The Power of Clinical Validation and Evidence
“We demonstrated that we can double the number of patients that get selected for mechanical thrombectomy. We save time almost an hour in decision making.”
Scaling from Oxford to 30+ Countries
Discusses the hurdles of early skepticism, the importance of trust, and how evidence-based adoption led to national rollouts in Wales, Poland, and Hungary.
“We demonstrated that we can double the number of patients that get selected for mechanical thrombectomy. We save time almost an hour in decision making.”
“We have developed a solution which is already FDA cleared that can identify progression even up to two years earlier than how patients can currently be identified.”
“We have shown that we can treble from 16% to 48% the number of patients having almost full recovery after having a stroke because we know the treatments work.”
