Jakob Krebs Christensen: Mobile Stroke Units Bring Imaging and Treatment Directly to the Patient
Jakob Krebs Christensen, Sales Manager Nordics, Baltics and CEE at AGITO Medical, shared on LinkedIn:
”‘Time is brain‘ – we’ve said it for decades. Now someone is doing something about it!
Northwestern Medicine in the US has deployed what they call a Mobile Stroke Unit – essentially a specialised ambulance with an on-board ‘standard’ CT scanner, a stroke care team, and a neurologist link via video.
šš”š š šØšš„: Reduce the gap between symptoms and treatment to near zero.
As someone who’s spent years in mobile and diagnostic imaging,
I find this genuinely exciting – and thought-provoking.
The technology exists! The clinical rationale is rock solid!
But the questions it raises are just as interesting as the concept itself.
- Who pays for a niche unit like this at scale?
- How do you maintain image quality and workflow integrity in a moving vehicle?
- Will the mechanics and electronics last during rough driving and roadbumps?
- Why not one of the new small dedicated Neuro CT’s we have seen launched?
- What does this mean for how we think about where diagnostics actually need to happen?
I often precht about bringing imaging to where patients are – rather than always the other way around.
This takes that idea to a whole new level.
Impressed. And curious to hear what others in the field think.
