Creating Virtual Stroke Networks: Current and Future Role of Artificial Intelligence, Mobile Imaging Applications, and Telehealth in Triage and Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke
Published: December 04, 2025
- Acute ischemic stroke remains a leading cause of morbidity worldwide and requires time sensitive treatment.
- Rapid evaluation, triage, and transport of stroke patients for thrombolytics, thrombectomy and other acute treatments have become a vital part of cerebrovascular care. With this there is a need for technology to facilitate inter-institutional coordination of care.
- This statement describes how technology expands stroke systems of stroke care considering remote care, virtual access to health care information, and improved interconnectedness across distant facilities. A virtual stroke network acts to bring the professionals, specialty expertise, and the gold standard of acute stroke care to the patient regardless of location.
