Brainomix, a pioneer in stroke AI imaging software and European market leader, has announced a strategic partnership with Medtronic Neurovascular, a global leader in medical technology. The collaboration aims to enhance stroke care for patients across Western Europe by integrating cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) solutions into clinical practice, expanding access to life-changing treatments and improving patient outcomes.

The Brainomix 360 Stroke platform is powered by state-of-the-art AI algorithms that provide real-time interpretation of brain scans to aid treatment and transfer decisions for stroke patients. Brainomix 360 Stroke was studied in the largest real-world evaluation of stroke AI – involving data from more than 450,000 patients across England over a 5-year period – with results showing a doubling of thrombectomy rates in Brainomix sites, and an additional 37% increase compared with non-evaluation sites.

By combining Brainomix’s AI-powered imaging technology with Medtronic’s expertise in neurovascular treatments, the partnership represents a significant step forward in stroke care. The collaboration will support faster, more accurate diagnoses, enabling healthcare professionals across the region to make better-informed decisions and deliver life-saving interventions more efficiently

Dr. Michalis Papadakis, CEO and Co-Founder of Brainomix, underscored the shared vision of both companies:

“This partnership with Medtronic is a natural fit, with the leading neurovascular device provider joining forces with the leading stroke AI imaging partner, both aligned around a mutual commitment towards improving stroke care for all patients. We have demonstrated that our software impacts treatment rates, and working with Medtronic, we now have an opportunity together to deliver a solution for stroke networks across Europe that will enable more patients to get access to vital stroke treatments.

Dr. Alex Solich, Senior Consultant for Neurointervention at Karolinska University Hospital & Örebro Hospital, emphasized the impact this partnership will have on patient outcomes:

“As a stroke physician, I see firsthand the critical importance of speed and precision in delivering life-saving treatment. That’s why I’m genuinely excited about the partnership between Medtronic Neurovascular and Brainomix. Combining Medtronic’s proven neurovascular technologies with Brainomix’s AI-driven imaging has the potential to make a real difference—not just in streamlining workflows, but in giving patients a better chance at recovery. Knowing that we are moving toward more efficient, data-driven decision-making gives me great confidence that we can continue to push the boundaries of stroke care and improve outcomes for countless patients.”

Matt Sturt, Vice President, Neurovascular Western Europe, Medtronic Neurovascular, said: “We are excited about our partnership with Brainomix. By combining Medtronic’s proven neurovascular technologies with Brainomix’s AI-driven imaging, we aim to enhance stroke care across Europe. This collaboration will streamline workflows, speed up decision-making, and ultimately give patients a better chance at recovery. Together, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of stroke care and improving outcomes for countless patients.”
