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.

StrokeApp - Helping patients & caregivers become fluent in the language of stroke

But I wasn't told by my doctor I had a stroke, I had a CVA. There should be a free app from our fucking failures of stroke associations. I'm certainly not paying $9.99 for this.

StrokeApp - Helping patients & caregivers become fluent in the language of stroke


Open iTunes to buy and download apps.

Description

Your life has suddenly changed because of stroke. You may be overwhelmed by information from your Stroke Book, and medical language can be confusing. It’s okay to be worried & have many questions, but it is important to learn all you can because 80% of strokes can be prevented from happening again!

StrokeApp is your mobile health coach or “personal nurse” that stays by your side, from the ER to hospital discharge. As featured in the Doctor’s Channel, Physician’s News Network, MedGadget and MobiHealth News, StrokeApp will provide lessons about stroke and explain how different areas of the hospital help in recovery. The inpatient education is customized to the particular type, location and severity of stroke. StrokeApp teaches when you're ready to learn with need-to-know information that is easy to understand. The educational content is individualized to your preferred learning style and remains relevant to where you are in the hospital and how far along you’ve come towards recovery.

The material in StrokeApp was prepared by Dr. Steven Cramer, a stroke specialist and internationally recognized leader in stroke rehabilitation. Currently, he is Professor and Vice-Chair of Neurology Research at University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, the co-editor of the book “Brain Repair after Stroke” and an Assistant Editor of Stroke (leading journal in cerebrovascular disease). StrokeApp is a recipient of the Top Promising Project Award of 2014 in the Big C Competition by LIVESTRONG, as well as the prestigious Box Collaboration Prize. StrokeApp was featured at the Health 2.0 conference in 2015 as an example of “Platforms for Patient-Provider Communications” that enhance the care continuum. Most recently, StrokeApp was a finalist in the Cambia Grove Anchor Partner Pilot program at EvergreenHealth.

personalRN values the patient-provider relationship and recognizes the importance of providing and maintaining a channel of accessibility and communication for patients and caregivers to their healthcare team. The meDiary, a feature of StrokeApp serves as that access portal as an inpatient and later after discharge. The meDiary also serves as storage, allowing you to collect and securely save all the information that is important to you during hospitalization. The meDiary can contain your personal health record and becomes your unique catalog, to be shared only with those you permit.


The more you know about stroke, the more prepared you’ll be when you leave the hospital. StrokeApp is there to help you during this stressful time and gives you the tools to prevent, anticipate and overcome the new challenges after hospitalization.

Educate, empower, engage!
