UB Neurosurgery and Atlas Ambulatory Neurosurgery Center (ANSC™) have been awarded a historic $144,500 research grant aimed at using artificial intelligence (AI) to detect and decode brain aneurysm risk.
The first-of-its-kind grant is the result of a collaboration between UBNS and Atlas ANSC™, NOVA Neuro, The Missy Project, and Prima Mente. The funds will be used to develop the world’s first AI-powered research initiative dedicated to studying and predicting the risk of potential intracranial aneurysms. This partnership and grant set a new precedent in how aneurysms can be predicted and treated with the end goal of saving millions of lives.
What This Grant Means for the Future
It is estimated that 1 in 50 Americans lives with an unruptured brain aneurysm. That is 6.5 million people who are at risk of a ruptured brain aneurysm, which in 50% of cases leads to death. This initiative redefines what’s possible in predicting and treating neurological conditions like intracranial aneurysms. The collaboration of these companies is the first step in finding a solution to detecting and preventing brain aneurysms.
