About Nico.Lab B.V.

Nico.Lab B.V. is a Dutch health technology company at the forefront of applying artificial intelligence to acute stroke care. Their flagship product, StrokeViewer, is an FDA-cleared and CE-marked AI-powered clinical decision support system designed to provide physicians with rapid and accurate analysis of imaging biomarkers in emergency settings. The platform leverages advanced algorithms to process CT and MR scans, enabling the swift detection of critical conditions such as large vessel occlusions (LVO) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), quantification of brain tissue at risk, and assessment of collateral circulation, all within minutes of a patient’s scan.

StrokeViewer is engineered to streamline the entire stroke workflow by integrating human and artificial intelligence. This cloud-based solution facilitates automated image analysis, mobile diagnostic viewing, and collaborative tools for clinicians, thereby accelerating diagnosis and enabling more informed treatment decisions. The system’s ability to provide vital information quickly and efficiently is paramount in stroke management, where timely intervention can significantly improve patient outcomes and minimize long-term disability. Nico.Lab’s mission is to empower physicians globally to deliver the right treatment to every patient in time, and they are also exploring expansion into other acute disease areas such as heart attack and abdominal traumas.

The system is designed to streamline acute stroke triage and reduce time to treatment.
Clinical Artificial Intelligence for Medical Imaging
Specializes in AI-powered tools for stroke diagnosis and management, with algorithms for LVO detection, hemorrhage detection, automated perfusion analysis, and ASPECTS scoring. Nico.Lab is expanding its AI offering beyond stroke to include Aortic Dissection and Pulmonary Embolism through collaborations with third-party AI systems, providing accurate and fast real-time alerts for these conditions.
CT and MR Perfusion Analysis
Offers comprehensive perfusion analysis for both MR and CT images. Their platform quantifies ischemic core and penumbra, provides multicolored perfusion maps, and assesses core and mismatch volumes aligned with DEFUSE-3 criteria. It also features automated AIF, VOF, and motion correction for standardized, reliable results.
Image Sharing & Telemedicine Workflows
Facilitates fast and secure interhospital stroke image sharing within networks. The cloud-based platform enables secure access to full DICOM series anywhere, anytime, via a certified DICOM viewer. It includes telemedicine collaboration tools, chat, and screen-sharing features for remote patient diagnosis and synchronized care.
PACS/DICOM Integration
Provides seamless integration with existing hospital IT infrastructure and PACS, ensuring compatibility with all CT scanners and PACS systems. Patient data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and images are transferred via secure DICOM connections to the cloud.
AI-Based Image Triage & Alerting
Offers AI-based image triage and alerting with instant app and email notifications for critical findings like Large Vessel Occlusion (LVO) and hemorrhage. The system automatically alerts stroke teams, allowing for rapid notification and image review from any device.
Aortic Dissection & Pulmonary Embolism
Expanding its AI portfolio to include Aortic Dissection (Type A and B) and Pulmonary Embolism (both incidental and acute). These AI applications are designed to identify urgent cases on Chest CT Angiography, flag them, and notify care teams with high sensitivity and specificity.
Physician Tip

Nico.Lab's solutions, particularly StrokeViewer, are designed to empower physicians by providing rapid, accurate, and clinically validated AI insights directly within their workflow. This means faster diagnosis and treatment decisions for acute stroke patients, potentially leading to improved outcomes and reduced disability. The mobile and cloud-based access allows for remote review and collaboration, enhancing flexibility and efficiency in time-critical emergency settings. The expansion into Aortic Dissection and Pulmonary Embolism further consolidates acute care imaging and triage on a single platform, reducing the need to switch between multiple systems.

Nico.Lab's platform is built for seamless integration with existing hospital IT infrastructure and PACS, requiring no additional hardware installation. It supports secure DICOM transfers and can utilize Google Cloud VPN for legacy systems. The company also collaborates with third-party AI systems to expand its clinical offerings beyond stroke, providing a unified platform for imaging, communication, and AI.
