Sheila Cristina Ouriques Martins: Digital Solutions Can Be Embedded into Health Systems to Transform Stroke Care

Sheila Cristina Ouriques Martins, Professor at Federal University of Rio Grande do Sol, shared on LinkedIn about a recent article she and her colleagues co-authored, adding:

”Stroke remains one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide – but we now have the tools to change this trajectory.

In our new paper, ‘Integrating Digital Health Into Stroke Policies’, we explore how digital solutions can be effectively embedded into health systems to transform stroke care at scale.

Key messages:

  • Digital health must move beyond pilot projects and be integrated into national policies.
  • Telestroke, AI, and structured data systems can significantly improve access, efficiency, and outcomes.
  • Implementation, governance, and sustainability are as important as innovation.

This is not just about technology – it’s about building organized systems of care that deliver impact where it matters most.

The future of stroke care is digital, connected, and policy-driven.”
