There is a great need for a rapid diagnostic method for stroke since very few patients actually receive adequate treatment in time. Stroke is currently the third leading cause of death and is one of the leading causes of severe and chronic disability in adults.
Gothenburg has Northern Europe’s largest university hospital and a leading cluster within microwave technology. This provides for efficient product development.
Medfield develops microwave based diagnostic instruments, primarily to distinguish between stroke caused by a clot and stroke caused by bleeding. These instruments are intended for use both in the ambulance and in hospitals
Medfield Diagnostics AB (publ) aims to facilitate the diagnosis of stroke. Early diagnosis of stroke, if it is due to a bleeding or a blood clot, will enable faster treatment than today.
