Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Target launches healthcare innovation challenge. It’s aim: simplify healthcare

I bet stroke survivors when presented with such a challenge could come up with thousands of ideas. But that would be stepping on the toes of established stroke associations and show how incompetent and inconsequential they really are. A great stroke association wouldn't need such a challenge because they would already have solicited such ideas and pursued the best ones. I put in my
30 first week hyperacute ideas. along with 177 ones needing testing.

Target has joined one of the growing trends in healthcare: innovation challenges. It announced on Monday two contests: one will seek a solution that helps people make positive lifestyle and prevention choices, while the other will gather ways to help people live well with a chronic condition.
The Target Simplicity Challenge will reward the creators of the winning ideas $25,000 apiece, their own Target-branded flip camera, and a chance to partner with Target to develop the concepts. The deadline for ideas is Oct. 24 and winners will be announced by January.
As the title suggests, Target wants small, simple ideas that can substantively solve the problems outlined in the contest. Jose Barra, Target’s senior vice president of health and beauty, said the company made the challenge topics broad because it wanted to attract an array of individuals who think they have a cool idea but who could get lost in the cracks of bigger competitions.
Rewards in healthcare innovation challenges are getting increasingly larger. The Knight Foundation has partnered with the likes of Robert Wood Johnson to hand out more than $2 million, for example.

Target announced the challenges at the Mayo Clinic Transform Conference going on this week in Minnesota.
