New Stroke Detection Device Promises Faster Diagnosis, West Virginia University Hospitals Study
An East Liberty startup is planning a clinical trial for a device that promises to identify strokes much faster than currently possible, reducing the time needed for patients to get definitive care.
Forest Devices Inc., a year-old company housed within the AlphaLab Gear business accelerator in East Liberty, will begin enrolling patients in a feasibility study in late June at West Virginia University Hospitals, said founder and CEO Matt Kesinger. Twenty patients will be recruited, split between people with and without a diagnosed stroke to determine the device’s detection accuracy.
