The Kanter Family Foundation “was born of the frustrations [Joseph Kanter] faced as a prostate cancer patient unable to obtain scientific evidence about ‘what works best’ in health care, based on the collective real-world experiences of other patients – evidence that would have helped me, and others like me, make better informed, life-or-death health decisions.”
This sounds exactly like what is wrong with stroke care. With only a 10% success rate for full recovery, we need Dr. Algorithm.
