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.

The Most Exciting Medical Technologies of 2017

Nothing for stroke, unless we can get Dr. Watson involved.
http://medicalfuturist.com/the-most-exciting-medical-technologies-of-2017/
2016 was a rich year for medical technology. Virtual Reality. Augmented Reality. Smart algorithms analysing wearable data. Amazing technologies arrived in our lives and on the market almost every day. And it will not stop in the coming year.
The role of a futurist is certainly not making bold predictions about the future. No such big bet has taken humanity forward. Instead, our job is constantly analysing the trends shaping the future and trying to build bridges between them and what we have today. Still, people expect me to come up with predictions about medical technologies every year, and thus here they are.

The top technologies with the biggest promise for 2017

1) A new era in diabetes care

2) Precision medicine in oncology

3) Narrow artificial intelligence in US clinics - IBM Dr. Watson

4) Driverless trucks or cars will include health sensors

5) New service in nutrigenomics

6) SpaceX and NASA will realize they need a digital health masterplan to reach Mars

7) The genome editing method CRISPR in clinical trials

8) A big tech company will step into health

9) An insurance company launches a wearable sensor package

10) The surgical robot by Google and Johnson&Johnson will compete with daVinci

11) Vocal biomarkers: the future of diagnostic medicine

12) Pharma will start using massive AI in clinical trials and drug research

13) A company will make the 3D printed cast a real choice



It’s important to mention though that none of these will happen without individuals who understand what the technological advances can bring upon as. Those people who discuss the advantages and ethical issues today are the ones who will bring disruption to everyday life tomorrow. Because it’s always more important how we adjust to the changes than what developments will take place next year.
I hope 2017 will be the year when we acknowledge that a cultural revolution is on the way only triggered by new technologies.
