SINGAPORE - A team of graduates from Republic Polytechnic (RP) has developed an AI-powered camera system designed to detect stroke symptoms in real time, potentially reducing delays in emergency care.

The system, called StrokeSight, uses computer vision to analyze facial symmetry, arm drift, and speech patternsβ€”key indicators of a stroke. In tests, it achieved over 90% accuracy in identifying stroke symptoms within seconds.

The project began as a student assignment in 2024 and was later refined with input from medical professionals at Singapore General Hospital. The team is now seeking partnerships to deploy the system in community settings such as nursing homes and public spaces.
