Heuron’s comprehensive AI solutions for stroke and neurodegenerative diseases
Heuron Co., Ltd. is a medical AI startup founded in 2017 that focuses on developing innovative AI-based solutions and advanced image analysis methods to enhance the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and emergency stroke care.
Heuron software is easily integrated into any medical system to facilitate the accurate and early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. In emergency settings, the StroCare Suite™ tools can reduce the time of treatment by several crucial hours, saving lives and reducing post-stroke physical complications.
The company is dedicated to protecting people’s brain health by combatting the impact of age-related neurodegenerative diseases on ageing populations around the world through AI-based diagnostic assistance tools. To achieve this, Heuron collaborates with numerous medical institutions and partners in Asia, the United States and is now in the process of expanding to the Middle East.
Prioritizing healthy ageing
Heuron AgingCare Suite™ combines tailored software solutions for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Heuron Parkinson’s tools, including Heuron IPD and Heuron NI, enable the visualisation and quantification of the Nigrosome area based on MR images through the innovative SMWI (susceptibility map-weighted imaging) sequence. This method not only reduces examination costs and time, but also eliminates potential risks of radiation exposure from PET scans in Parkinson’s diagnosis.
Heuron Alzheimer’s tools include Heuron AD, a software developed for quick, fully automated and accurate volumetric quantification of over 90 brain regions on routine MR images, and Heuron Brain PET, a tool designed to detect, map and quantify protein deposits common in Alzheimer’s patients. Users can combine it with 10 different tracers and adjust the settings to their needs.
Heuron AgingCare Suite provides a detailed report for each patient and is helpful for early diagnosis and tracking of the disease progression. Users can customize the settings to suit their specific requirements.
Time is brain
Stroke is a life-threatening emergency condition that occurs when there is a disruption in blood flow to a part of the brain. It the second leading cause of death globally. It can result from either a blocked blood vessel, known as an ischemic stroke, or bleeding within the brain, referred to as a haemorrhage. In stroke cases, time is of the essence; the faster stroke is addressed, the greater the likelihood of a full recovery without lasting disability.
Heuron StroCare Suite™ is a dedicated solution designed to address the most crucial aspect of stroke management, which is reducing the response time for emergency patients. It is an integrated AI solution that generates comprehensive patient classifications in emergency situations for patients with suspected intracranial haemorrhage and large vessel occlusion using non-contrast CT scans.
The software scans for any potential haemorrhages and large vessel occlusions and calculates the ASPECT Score in under three minutes to facilitate rapid decision-making and minimize treatment duration. This tool reduces the need for a contrast agent and is particularly helpful when transferring patients from facilities where contrast CT or thrombectomy procedures are not available to those where they are accessible.
