Grace’s Personal Story

My grandfather passed away from a stroke that went undetected while he slept. This experience has deeply motivated me to work on solutions that could help others avoid similar losses.

Purpose of Stroke Sense

By utilizing AI technology that monitors for early signs of strokes during sleep, we hope to prevent others from facing the same tragic outcome. StrokeSense is a step towards making this possible.

Current Challenges

  • Delayed Detection: Traditional methods rely on symptoms that often appear only after significant damage.
  • Limited Monitoring: Most people lack access to real-time, proactive health monitoring at home.
  • High Risk in At-Home Settings: Many strokes happen outside hospital settings, where early signs may go unnoticed.
