November is Stroke Technology Month - National Stroke Association

What a complete sick joke. Nothing here comes close to resembling a protocol that you can take to your doctor to implement. In all, this is a complete proof of the NSA being useless for survivors.

November is Technology Month

During November 2016, the National Stroke Association is highlighting the ways that technology affects the stroke community. Technology plays a critical role in stroke prevention and detection, as well as rehabilitation and stroke recovery.  Follow along with us during November to learn more.
Yes, we'll learn how incompetent you are.

Understanding Technology

Technology in the stroke world is ever-evolving and changing quickly. Use our new resources to learn more about technology and stroke.
  • Technology and Stroke Infographic—an overview of technology and stroke care, Wow is that pathetic
  • Suggested questions for your healthcare provider—interested in specific technologies to support you in your recovery? This resource provides some suggestions for you and your provider to discuss to determine if technology could support you in your recovery. Worthless, you are just dumping the replies onto doctors who know nothing. Fuck, do you do ANYTHING USEFUL?
  • Suggestions for financing your technology—many people may need to explore funding options for accessing technology. This resource provides some starting points. What would be useful is YOU making sure these technology items are approved and paid for by insurance. But that would entail actual hard work on your part.

Accessing Technology

If you own a smart phone you already have access to hundreds of applications that can help improve cognitive function, fine motor skills, and coordination. Innovations in stroke prevention are also helpful in tracking your blood pressure, healthy diet and exercise along with monitoring your heart rate. Speak with your healthcare team for more information about how technology could help you in your stroke recovery journey. But you don't specifically tell us about any of them. Fucking lazy assholes.

  1. Dean,
    What a joke!
    Not one specific protocol, device, or method suggested or recommended! Just a bunch of suggestions, that there might be technological solutions to the problems of stroke and recovery.
    But you are on your own!
    I asked all the suggested questions of my providers an was told "at this time, nothing is proven and paid for by insurance and I would just spend a bunch of money and get frustrated."
