Wouter Potters is a Dutch MedTech entrepreneur with a background in both technology and medicine. After obtaining his PhD on cardiovascular MRI, Wouter was the first technical physician to join the neurology staff of the Amsterdam UMC in 2016. During 7 years he committed to clinical patient care, healthcare and IT innovation as well as numerous research projects. In 2018, Wouter won the Amsterdam Science and Innovation award together with his colleague for their idea of stroke triage using EEG in the ambulance. After several successful research projects, 4 years of development and multiple successful clinical studies, Wouter incorporated TrianecT in 2022 to transform the scientific data and knowledge into a viable commercial product to triage stroke patients in the ambulance.
Stroke is a major health concern, with 1 in 4 people over 25 at risk, and a third of all global healthcare costs are spent on stroke. Fast treatment is essential to improve the outcome of patients with an acute ischemic stroke, because time is brain. Currently, over 50% of the large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke patients are transported to a hospital without endovascular treatment, causing them to be transported again if an LVO is detected. This delays endovascular treatment of LVO stroke by 60 minutes. We have developed a solution to triage stroke in the ambulance by the acquisition of electrical brain activity of the patient and automatic analysis of the EEG data. With our solution, emergency medical service (EMS) personnel can transport patients directly to the right hospital for the right treatment. This saves time, saves brain and dramatically improves patient outcome.
