The Hemorrhagic stroke Academia inDuStry (HEADS) roundtable is Modeled after the STAIR (Stroke Therapy Academic Industry Roundtable) meetings. HEADS roundtable is designed to be a collaborative discussion between select world-renowned leaders in the field of hemorrhagic stroke from academia, device & pharmaceutical companies, and governmental regulatory and research agencies to define unmet needs in the field and to address impediments to maximize opportunities for successfully, efficiently, and rapidly mounting and completing pivotal hemorrhagic stroke studies encompassing the entire R&D process.

Attendance at this meeting is by invitation only. HEADS meetings are held in conjunction with the WICH conference. Participants are asked to define unmet needs and challenges in the field. They are then divided into  working subgroups, and tasked with the development of recommendations and benchmark standards to improve the process of researching, developing, and refining therapies for hemorrhagic stroke.
