You might wonderāwhat does stroke care have to do with race cars?
Simple: Speed.
Just like on the track, stroke treatment is a race against time. At Sevaro, our virtual neurologists use Synapse AI to connect with hospitals in under 45 seconds during a stroke emergency. We help hospitals triage faster, treat smarter, and save livesācoast to coast.
By putting our name on a race car, weāre not just promoting a brand. Weāre promoting a movementāto get people talking about stroke, learning the signs, and sharing the message with the people they love.
Want to reduce your risk? Good news: 80% of strokes are preventable with lifestyle changes.
Hereās what neurologists recommend:
At Sevaro, weāre driven by purpose and powered by speedāboth on the track and in the hospital. Stroke care doesnāt have to be delayed, misunderstood, or scary. With the right tools and education, we can change the story.
So start with one small act:
Together, weāll help the world BEFAST.
