Deans' stroke musings: Siemens introduces mobile stroke unit at World Stroke Congress

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.

Siemens introduces mobile stroke unit at World Stroke Congress

I don't know they are getting full recovery of 43% because the only statistics I've seen are 10% full recovery from NINDS and the National Stroke Association.

Siemens introduces mobile stroke unit at World Stroke Congress

Siemens Healthineers presented its Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU) at the pre-Congress Meeting of the 17th World Stroke Congress in Barcelona on October 21.

MSU is the first mobile unit capable of diagnosing and treating stroke at the location where it occurs, according to the firm. Operated by a team of specialized neurology professionals, MSU is a specialized ambulance featuring CT, telemedicine, and a point-of-care lab.

Siemens reported that treatment time with MSU is 36 minutes faster, with more than half of the patients treated with the mobile unit achieving full recovery after three months, compared with 43% with conventional care. The use of MSU also resulted in lower mortality rates at 90 days following a stroke, as well as improved functional outcomes for patients.

Siemens Healthineers also presented its interactive virtual reality tool Time is Brain at the meeting. Time is Brain allows users to experience a simulated cerebrovascular accident firsthand and follow through the phases of its management from different perspectives (such as the patient’s or clinician’s). At the meeting, Time is Brain was set for participants to experience the diagnostic and treatment process through the clinician’s perspective.
