About NICo-Lab B.V.
NICo-Lab B.V. is a Dutch health technology company founded in 2015, emerging from the insights of the MR CLEAN trial, which significantly advanced acute stroke care. The company’s core mission is to transform emergency workflows for physicians by leveraging cutting-edge artificial intelligence. Their flagship product, StrokeViewer, is an AI-powered clinical decision support system meticulously designed to provide rapid and highly accurate assessments of imaging biomarkers in acute stroke cases. This tool employs clinically validated and FDA-cleared algorithms to analyze emergency computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) perfusion images, with the primary goal of substantially reducing time to treatment and thereby improving patient outcomes in stroke management.
StrokeViewer optimizes the entire stroke workflow by seamlessly integrating human and artificial intelligence, enabling physicians to make swift and informed decisions, even when accessing patient data remotely via mobile devices. The system offers automated analysis for CT/MR perfusion, AI-driven detection of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and large vessel occlusion (LVO), mobile diagnostic viewing capabilities, and collaborative tools for stroke healthcare teams to facilitate acute stroke triage. NICo-Lab is committed to the continuous advancement of its AI-driven solutions, incorporating sophisticated imaging technologies, and expanding global access to effective stroke diagnostics and treatment. The company is also broadening its AI portfolio beyond stroke with “Nicolab Assist,” designed to support a wider array of urgent clinical pathways.
