What research is needed to evaluate the impact of telemedicine on post-stroke risk factor control and secondary stroke prevention?
Research is needed to evaluate the impact of telemedicine on poststroke risk factor control and secondary stroke prevention. Studies should examine the impact of telemedicine on patient outcomes, such as risk factor control and secondary stroke prevention, as well as the barriers to engaging in telemedicine that patients with stroke may face, such as cognitive impairment and physical disability. Additionally, research should be conducted to evaluate the implementation of telemedicine interventions across health systems in order to achieve desired outcomes.
