Deans' stroke musings: Strokefinder MD100 helmet

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Strokefinder MD100 helmet

But they never say how fast it is. Maybe you want to compare with these others.

But are these other fast stroke diagnosis tools good enough to roll out to the world? Do you even know about them?

Hats off to Helmet of Hope - stroke diagnosis in 30 seconds

Microwave Imaging for Brain Stroke Detection and Monitoring using High Performance Computing in 94 seconds

New Device Quickly Assesses Brain Bleeding in Head Injuries - 5-10 minutes

Maybe these 17 diagnosis possibilities to find out which one is the best? Or maybe the Qualcomm Xprize for the tricorder?

REVOLUTIONARY: A stroke detection device called the Strokefinder MD100 helmet is being trialled for the first time in critical response settings.

With an acute stroke occurring every 10 minutes in Australia, a revolutionary detection device called the Strokefinder MD100 helmet is being trialled for the first time in critical response settings.

The helmet is compact, portable and affordable, enabling rapid deployment in Emergency Departments and ambulances. The patient’s head is sequentially scanned by antenna pads emitting low-energy microwaves similar to that of mobile phones – these pulses scatter in brain matter, detecting the type and location of the stroke.

Science fiction is becoming science fact at HMRI as sophisticated techologies are developed to allow more efficient and less intrusive ways to diagnose, treat and defeat disease.

Researchers and physicians from the Hunter, along with Sweden’s Medfield Diagnostics, are exploring the potential for stroke therapies to be administered as soon as possible – possibly even pre-hospital by paramedics connected via telehealth.

The imaging system was adapted from defence applications, a multidisciplinary medical team is now refining the detection capabilities and algorithm, comparing the accuracy against their world-leading CT and MRI techniques.
