- Impact Goal: Reduce stroke-related disabilities and improve health outcomes in underserved areas worldwide.
Stroke Statistics
- Prevalence: Over 795,000 people experience a stroke each year in the U.S., a leading cause of long-term disability.
- Economic Burden: Stroke costs the U.S. approximately $56.2 billion annually, covering medical care, rehabilitation, and lost productivity.
- Challenge of Undiagnosed Cases: Undiagnosed strokes contribute significantly to these costs due to severe complications and prolonged hospitalizations.
Current Challenges
- Delayed Detection: Traditional methods rely on symptoms that often appear only after significant damage.
- Limited Monitoring: Most people lack access to real-time, proactive health monitoring at home.
- High Risk in At-Home Settings: Many strokes happen outside hospital settings, where early signs may go unnoticed.
