Revolutionary precision that saves lives
Simulation with individualized vascular structures for more informed decisions in stroke therapy.
We develop technology that reduces risks and saves lives
Millions of strokes each year may provide a solid statistical basis. But just as individual as we humans are, so are the arteries in our brains. Medical decisions based on averages can lead to dramatic consequences. A misdiagnosis or inappropriate therapy in this context can result in severe disability or even death – outcomes that could have been prevented.
The solution lies in the individualized, patient-specific simulation of blood flow in the vascular structures.
With our technology, we enable highly precise risk assessments that allow for better prevention and more targeted treatments. Physicians receive personalized data for more informed decisions. Our technology is patent pending and sets a new standard in stroke risk diagnostics: StroQ for personalized stroke medicine.
For the individual, for families, for our healthcare system – and for society as a whole.

What are the use cases
Inpatient Care
Precision on Demand in Clinical Practice
In the inpatient setting, StroQ offers a simulation solution that integrates seamlessly into existing workflows – without additional logistical effort. Based on imaging modalities such as CT angiography or MR tomography, StroQ delivers reliable, individually simulated risk profiles in real time.
This provides physicians with a data-driven decision support system that goes beyond standard diagnostics – precise, reproducible, and clinically relevant.
What are the use cases
Acute
Gaining time when every second counts
In acute care, StroQ can potentially save crucial time: through fast, precise simulations based on already available imaging data, can accelerate risk assessment in critical situations.
Whether in the emergency room or prior to an invasive decision – StroQ provides additional certainty in moments when it makes the most difference.
What are the use cases
Outpatient
Technology transfer
StroQ brings high-end diagnostics from the hospital into mainstream care. Its cloud-based architecture allows for easy deployment in outpatient centers and practices – without complex hardware, but with full functionality.
This means that even specialists in private practice can access state-of-the-art risk modeling – and patients receive highly precise assessments without a hospital referral.
What are the use cases
Inpatient
Precision on demand.
In the inpatient setting, StroQ offers a simulation solution that can be seamlessly integrated into existing processes – without additional logistical effort. Based on imaging techniques such as CT angiography or MRI, StroQ delivers well-founded, individually simulated risk profiles in real time.
This provides physicians with data-based decision support that goes beyond standard diagnostics – precise, reproducible, and clinically relevant.
PRECISION AS A SOLUTION FOR EUROPE AND BEYOND
1.5 million strokes annually. We change the prognosis.
INDIVIDUALIZED DIAGNOSES AS A GLOBAL OPPORTUNITY
Every year in Europe – with numbers continuing to rise – 1.5 million people suffer a stroke. Beyond the patients themselves, countless families are affected, while the European healthcare systems are pushed to their limits with annual costs exceeding €60 billion. This urgency demands innovative solutions.
StroQ closes this critical gap and opens up a global opportunity for personalized medicine and digital diagnostics. With StroQ, we are initiating a transformation that promotes human well-being while at the same time generating economic benefits for society and stakeholders in the healthcare system.
TECHNOLOGICAL EDGE: WITH CFD AND AI
Our technology is based on numerical simulations that use mathematical and physical models to precisely simulate individual blood flow in the brain – like a digital twin of the patient.
StroQ relies on clear computational processes based on established physical principles – fueled by real imaging data, pressure values, and flow parameters. Artificial intelligence is selectively applied where it recognizes medical patterns, such as risk developments.
The result: precision.
• Proven 3D simulation technology, further developed for stroke medicine
• Clinically validated imaging and flow data that continuously refine our models
• An interdisciplinary expert team combining medicine, engineering, and business leadership
Our journey and vision
What if we could prevent strokes? Our story began with this vision. Today, we can no longer say whether it was personal experience or the passion for research and development that was decisive. From the very beginning, we focused on combining cutting-edge technologies with deep scientific understanding. This is how we recognized the potential and, with an interdisciplinary team, developed this revolutionary solution.
OUR VISION
We're working for a world where every stroke can be prevented. A world where diagnoses aren't based on averages, but on the individual needs of each patient. With StroQ, we want to usher in a new era in medicine – an era where precision and personalization save lives and relieve the burden on healthcare systems.
Collaboration
Our Partners
A stroke occurs when blood flow in the brain is disrupted – most often due to an acute, critical narrowing or blockage of an artery (ischemic stroke). Within minutes, the affected brain regions are no longer sufficiently supplied with oxygen – nerve cells begin to die, and permanent damage may result.
THE CAUSE
Altered vascular geometries, hemodynamic stress, and pathological flow conditions often develop unnoticed – until they lead to an event.
THIS IS WHERE STROQ COMES IN
Patient-specific simulations based on precise models make critical flow patterns visible at an early stage. Video 2 shows a representative example of a patient’s vascular tree with a simulation of the cerebral blood vessels. More about the technology
What is a stroke and what do we do?
StroQ is more than a technology – it is a game changer in modern stroke treatment. Through the unique ability to precisely simulate biomechanical processes in the cerebral arteries, StroQ sets completely new standards. Patient-specific risk assessments, individualized therapy recommendations, and precise prevention strategies are provided in real time and seamlessly integrated into existing clinical workflows.
StroQ combines cutting-edge science with intuitive application – and makes the unimaginable possible: saving lives before the emergency occurs.
StroQ opens up versatile fields of application for doctors, clinics, and also for society. In combination with tools such as smartwatches, StroQ could monitor the personal health data of each user in real time to detect stroke risks at an early stage. Thanks to its software-based architecture, StroQ could be implemented worldwide in the shortest possible time – a quantum leap in global healthcare. With StroQ, the vision of comprehensive, personalized medicine becomes reality.
