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.

IBM's Watson Comes to the Bedside

I would prefer Dr. Watson to any human doctor for my stroke care. Although the Dr. is only as good as the input supplied. And that is the major problem with stroke. There seems to be NO written protocols for stroke rehabilitation, and of course no efficacy percentages.  There is so much to accomplish and we have the stroke world working on World Stroke Day - Oct. 29.  What a joke and waste of time.

If a physician or a patient could tap a clinical question into a smartphone and get an answer -- not just a list of references or websites -- and that answer came with a 82% likelihood that it is the "best" answer, would it make a difference in clinical care?
The IBM Watson folks and a handful of healthcare startups are betting that it will, and that was the theme of a daylong rollout of "Watson at Scale," designed to show off Watson's new global headquarters at 51 Astor Place, where the elevators have no buttons and one can be "immersed" in the Watson cognitive computing experience.
Most Americans know Watson as the computer that took on "Jeopardy" champ Ken Jennings and summarily defeated him.
