NeuroSentry provides hospitals with a point‑of‑care EEG system that continuously monitors patients for peri‑operative strokes, delivering rapid detection and alerts to clinicians. By integrating emerging EEG hardware with automated analysis, the platform aims to reduce the 5‑fold higher mortality risk associated with undetected strokes during and after surgery.

Problem
Patients undergoing high‑risk surgical procedures face a 1‑2% chance of peri‑operative stroke, and undetected strokes increase mortality risk by up to five times. Current hospital workflows lack a rapid, bedside method to identify acute brain injury during or immediately after surgery.
Solution
NeuroSentry offers an in‑hospital stroke monitoring system that uses point‑of‑care electroencephalography (EEG) to detect cerebral ischemia in real time. The portable EEG device is placed on the patient before or during the procedure and continuously records brain activity. Proprietary algorithms analyze the EEG signals to identify patterns indicative of stroke, generating alerts for clinicians within minutes of onset. The system integrates with existing hospital monitoring infrastructure, allowing rapid clinical response and potentially reducing stroke‑related mortality.
Target Audience
Primary customers are hospitals and surgical centers that perform high‑risk interventions such as cardiac, vascular, and neurosurgical procedures, as well as anesthesiology and peri‑operative care teams responsible for patient monitoring.
Features
- Compact, bedside EEG hardware designed for use in operating rooms and post‑operative care units
- Automated signal processing that continuously scans for ischemic EEG signatures without manual interpretation
- Real‑time alerting interface that notifies clinicians of suspected stroke events on existing monitors or mobile devices
- Secure data transmission and storage compliant with healthcare privacy standards
- Compatibility with standard hospital IT systems for easy integration into existing workflows
