Dr Stella Daskalopoulou and her PLAKK team were finalists in the competition for the M14 Innovation Prize!

Heart attacks and strokes are caused by the rupture of fatty deposits, called plaques, that build up in the arteries. Currently, the only method to identify stroke or heart attack risk is to measure artery narrowing caused by the plaque. However, this method is insufficient and leads to inappropriate treatment allocation. PLAKK uses artificial intelligence to improve the characterization of dangerous plaques, leading to better prediction, treatment, and prevention of heart attacks and strokes.
