Classification: CPC G  A | IPC A  G

Claim 3:
4. A computer system programmed to determine that a stroke patient should be transferred from a first treatment facility to a second treatment facility capable of performing endovascular therapy, the computer system programmed to:
receive clinical data for the stroke patient at the first treatment facility;
receive imaging data from one or more imaging modalities for the stroke patient at the first treatment facility and determine an image profile for the stroke patient;
determine an estimated transfer time from the first treatment facility to the second treatment facility capable of performing endovascular therapy, an estimated treatment time at the second treatment facility, and a total time to treatment based on the estimated transfer time and the estimated treatment time;
determine a patient assessment profile from the image profile, wherein the patient assessment profile includes an estimate of an amount of brain tissue that may be irreversibly infarcted at the total time to treatment;
determine and output a probability of an acceptable outcome based on the patient assessment profile and whether the patient is transferred or not to the second treatment facility capable of performing endovascular therapy; and
output, based on a plurality of decisive factors, a decision to transfer the patient to the second facility capable of performing endovascular therapy, to provide automatic decision support by implementing machine learning techniques based on expert physician data, the clinical data, and the imaging data, and wherein the plurality of decisive factors include a perfusion threshold value, the patient assessment profile, and an estimated time to reperfusion.
