Transforming stroke care through artificial intelligence and advanced digital technologies.
UMBRELLA delivers faster, more accurate, and personalized stroke care, improving outcomes for over a million new patients annually in the EU and nearly 10 million survivors.
To achieve this, the project collects real-world stroke patient data from various European hospitals and develops AI-driven predictive models to tailor diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation to each individual’s needs. Using a federated platform, hospitals can train and validate algorithms while preserving data privacy.
The project tackles key challenges in stroke care: treatment delays, lack of personalisation, unequal access to care (especially for women and underserved regions), and knowledge gaps about stroke causes.
Led by Vall d’Hebron Research Institute (VHIR) and Siemens Healthineers, UMBRELLA brings together over 20 partners, including leading hospitals, tech companies, researchers, patient advocates, and AI innovators, to pioneer a new era of stroke care in Europe.
Eurecat takes part in the project through its Digital Health Unit, responsible for the harmonisation of data and AI models.
