BIVDA member’s rapid stroke test to be piloted in London ambulances

By May 12, 2026No Comments

We would like to congratulate BIVDA member Upfront Diagnostics, who have officially launched their LVOne stroke test in the UK, which is set to be piloted across London, and have also been featured in The Times.

The initial deployment will equip approximately 280 ambulances serving North Central London, before expanding to North West and North East London, covering a population of approximately 6.5 million people, during a six-month pilot.

The London programme is being led by Dr Robert Simister, consultant neurologist at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, University College London Hospitals (UCLH), in collaboration with LAS and several major stroke centres across the capital.

We are also pleased that Upfront are being supported by fellow BIVDA member Abingdon Health who has acted as CDMO partner to Upfront Diagnostics for LVOne.
