Copenhagen, January 7, 2026 – Human Bytes enters into a strategic partnership with Nicolab for stroke coordination. The ambition is to empower acute care physicians with quick and reliable access to vital information when it matters the most.
Seamless linking acute care teams
About 50,000 people across Nordic countries suffer from stroke every year. About 500,000 people live with the consequences of a stroke. This is more than 30 people every day, alone in Denmark and the fourth leading cause of death.
Stroke is a very acute condition, where the time from pick-up to intervention (door to groin) is crucial; every second counts and having access to the right information and competencies along the patient pathway is crucial.
Nicolab is the world leader in stroke coordination. Our AI solution (StrokeViewer) offers real-time sharing of images and critical information to deploy the right competencies and treatment to optimize patient outcomes.
In 2025 Nicolab supported more than 60,000 stroke pathways across Europe, through a simple and intuitive application and user-interface.
“At Nicolab, we connect the right physicians at the right time to streamline emergency workflows. By providing physicians with all vital information at their fingertips, they can diagnose patients more accurately and make faster treatment decisions.” Says Michael Macilquham, CEO at Nicolab, and continues, ”The Nordic market is an optimal market for Nicolab, with its developed connectivity, and teaming up with Human Bytes we jointly want to unlock this potential for better patient outcomes.”
Strong results from real-world clinical use
Connecting the right people at the right time with AI-analyzed patient scans and a centralized patient information streamlines clinical care to prevent unnecessary delays to treatment. Giving patients the best chances of living their normal lives after the emergency department and providing healthcare professionals with peace of mind.
Nicolab has customers in more than 10 countries around the world, and data shows that patient impact is significant for their +50,000 patients every year.
• 13 minutes faster door to groin
• 54 minutes reduction in time to expert review
• 2,4 reduction in hospital stay

“The partnership with Nicolab adds a new strong AI solution to our portfolio within acute care, which has a high relevance within the Nordic countries.” Says Ulrik Therkildsen, CEO Human Bytes, and continues, ”We are proud to team-up with Nicolab to enable the needed re-engineering of stroke coordination for better resource utilization and patient pathways.”
