We’re building a future where stroke doesn’t go undetected

Happy family using tablet together

What if you couldn’t recognize the signs of a stroke until it was too late?

Most people can’t. Over 60% of people don’t know the warning signs of a stroke, and many who do still hesitate to seek help. That delay can mean the difference between recovery and a lifetime of disability, or worse.

Code Blue was born from that very fear.

We’ve felt the heartbreak of watching stroke steal pieces of the people we love. And we’re committed to making sure fewer families go through that pain.

The cost of inaction is too high.

Every year, strokes cost $22 billion to life insurance companies, $23 billion to health insurance providers, and more than $700 billion to the global economy.

 

The American Heart Association estimates $68,769 per patient is spent on long-term stroke care.

 

These numbers are growing. And behind each one is a family, a caregiver, a system that’s under immense strain.

We’re building a future where stroke doesn’t go undetected.

Code Blue uses AI to detect early signs of stroke and alert emergency services—quietly and instantly. It’s designed to protect people before the damage is done and support those who care for them.

We’re still in our early stages, but our vision is clear:

A world where stroke detection is accessible to everyone, and the loss of family to stroke damage becomes a thing of the past.
