WSC 2022 | Opportunities of digital health in individualized stroke prevention

Valery Feigin, MD, PhD, FRSNZ, FRAS, FAAN, AUT’s National Institute for Stroke and Applied Neuroscience (NISAN), outlines the opportunities of digital health in individualized stroke prevention. Two digital prevention technologies have been developed by the Auckland University of Technology: the Stroke Riskometer™ and PreventS-MD™. The Stroke Riskometer™ is a mobile application that provides users with an individualized assessment of their risk of stroke, whilst PreventS-MD™ is a piece of software that aids healthcare professionals with patient risk assessment, management, and decision making. Both technologies show potential to reduce stroke incidence, however Prof. Feigin stresses the need to now implement these available strategies on a larger scale. This interview took place at the World Stroke Congress 2022 in Singapore.
