Hospitals will benefit from enhanced care levels, leading to fewer transfers and lower costs associated with critical care and stroke."
Aisiku further anticipates that Ava Robot will bolster tele-stroke operations, with additional applications likely to emerge as the technology gains traction in the medical field.
