Technology Resources

Stroke is a leading cause of disability and death worldwide, and as the population ages, the number of stroke cases is expected to increase significantly. In the UK alone, a 49% increase in the prevalence of stroke is predicted between 2025 and 2035, putting a strain on healthcare systems and resources (King et al, 2020). However, with advancements in technology, particularly in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), there is hope for improving outcomes for stroke patients.

Recently, I was delighted to join the Florence Nightingale Foundation to talk on this topic. This article summarises this session, but if you are curious, you can see the presentation at: https://youtu.be/u72w_7gtZQM.

Technology is all around us and while it enables us to do things that were not possible in the past, I still talk to nurses around the country who have very different levels of professional engagement with it.
