INNOVATIONS IN STROKE CARE: KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THE RES-Q+ TECHNICAL MEETING IN DUBLIN
The RES-Q+ project’s Technical Meeting, held on September 19-20, 2024, at Trinity College Dublin’s ADAPT Centre, the world-leading Research Centre for AI-Driven Digital Content Technology, brought together experts to explore advancements in stroke care. Over two intensive days, specialists discussed how AI and predictive analytics could transform patient outcomes.
Hendrik Knoche of Aalborg University presents part of the results at the meeting.
John Kelleher, Professor of Computer Science and one of the leading experts in artificial intelligence, set the stage for deep dives into the project’s technical innovations and research partnerships. Additionally, Katryna Cisek from Technological University Dublin presented a clinical use case on AI-driven patient outcome predictions, which sparked discussions on how to effectively integrate these tools into clinical practice.
In the context of sharing the project's progress, Hamzah Ziadeh, a PhD student at Aalborg University, presented a prototype of a clinical virtual assistant designed to assist doctors in interpreting data from the RES-Q Registry of Stroke Care Quality. This virtual assistant identifies areas for improvement for clinicians and benchmarks their performance against national averages. Furthermore, discussions included pilot study planning to test virtual assistants for post-stroke patients, focusing on self-monitoring outcomes over three months, predictive modeling, and ensuring regulatory compliance for new AI-based healthcare tools.
Sessions on regulatory and legal requirements, led by three legal partners – Timelex, Chino.io, and Masaryk University, highlighted the AI self-evaluation questionnaire and ethical guidelines, emphasizing the project’s commitment to compliance while advancing stroke care.
With an emphasis on innovation, regulatory compliance, and ethical considerations, the RES-Q+ project is well-positioned to set new standards in stroke management and patient care. The insights gained from the Dublin meeting will be crucial in steering the project’s future developments, ensuring it remains at the forefront of stroke research and care.
