EARLY DETECTION AND MANAGEMENT OF STROKE THROUGH TELEMEDICINE

Abstract

Stroke remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability worldwide. Early detection and rapid initiation of treatment are critical for improving outcomes, yet geographical, logistical, and infrastructural barriers often delay access to specialized care. Telemedicine has emerged as a transformative tool that enables remote evaluation, timely diagnosis, and effective management of stroke. This article examines the role of telemedicine in acute stroke assessment, discusses current technologies and clinical applications, and highlights its impact on treatment decision-making, patient outcomes, and healthcare accessibility.
