Consortium partners met in Bath, UK, on 12 and 13 of May, 2026, to officially launch CEREBRIS project, a newly awarded European Innovation Council project funded under Horizon Europe and coordinated by the University of Bath. CEREBRIS aims to bring together world-class, transdisciplinary expertise to radically improve stroke care through next-generation medical devices, artificial intelligence and multimodal data integration.

‍

The CEREBRIS consortium brings together 14 partners from 9 countries, including research and academic institutions, clinical partners, advocacy patient organisation, SMEs and innovation experts. Together, they will work towards a shared ambition: to transform how stroke is detected, monitored, treated and understood across thep atient pathway.

The kick-off meeting provided an important opportunity for partners to meet in person, align on the project’s vision and objectives, and discuss the work that will take place over the next four years. Sessions focused on the scientific and technological foundations of CEREBRIS, including advanced neuroimaging, wearable neural interfaces, kinematics, movement and sensory assessment, clinical data collection, trustworthy AI, and future pathways for clinical translation.

Sessions focused on the scientific and technological foundations of CEREBRIS, including advanced neuroimaging, wearable neural interfaces, kinematics, movement and sensory assessment, clinical data collection, trustworthy AI, and future pathways for clinical translation.A key focus of the discussions was the project’s ambition to integrate different types of patient data, including brain signals, imaging, movement, sensory and clinical information. By connecting these data streams through AI-powered tools, CEREBRIS aims to support more personalised and timely decision-making in stroke care.The meeting also allowed partners to review the project’s work streams, ethics and data management requirements, communication and dissemination activities, and stakeholder engagement plans. Particular attention was given to ensuring that the project’s research and innovation activities are developed responsibly, with strong attention to clinical relevance, patient needs, regulatory considerations and future exploitation opportunities.The kick-off meeting marked the beginning of an ambitious European collaboration to advance AI-supported stroke care and contribute to better outcomes for patients, clinicians and health systems. Over the coming months, the CEREBRIS consortium will begin its first activities, including technical development, clinical planning, stakeholder engagement, communication and dissemination, and the establishment of strong foundations for responsible data use and trustworthy AI.
