Forest Devices is the creator of ALPHASTROKE, the first stroke and Large Vessel Occlusion (LVO) detection device that can  be used by first responders to triage patients directly to the right hospital. By re-purposing established technology, Forest Device's team is developing a novel and objective stroke detection method. It would enable early and fast triage so stroke patients go to the appropriate level of care. The gold-standard of treatments are time-limited and early interventions increase effectiveness. With missed interventions annually due to inadequate stroke detection and triage, we are determined to become the new standard of care. On the eve of the company's sixth anniversary, Founder Matt Kesinger tells us about a clinical trial being started in Canada and how the device is gaining traction across Europe.

One Mic Stand: Matt Kesinger of Forest Devices

Matt Kesinger’s company, Forest Devices, is developing the medical device ALPHASTROKE to help first responders identify stroke and triage patients to the right hospital.   Strokes are the #1 cause of disability worldwide. Lives are changed by how quickly a stroke is diagnosed and treated.   Matt was EMT in Boston for two years and learned how hard it can be to diagnose a stroke with just a clinical exam.    While attending the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Matt conducted and published research on the difficulties of pre-hospital providers diagnosing stroke. He was part of the team that conducted the largest US study on the identification of large vessel occlusive strokes in the pre-hospital environment.    In this conversation, Matt &amp; Aaron discuss how to diagnose a stroke, the testing process for medical devices, and the mission that inspires the team.
