Special Edition Episode 63 for World Stroke Day #GreaterThanStroke This year’s theme for World Stroke Day 2023 is stroke prevention. One in four of us will have a stroke in our lifetime.

The Know Stroke Podcast stands behind this mission as well so together we can be #GreaterThanStroke. Today we join the global stroke community to raise awareness and drive action on stroke prevention.

"Houston, we have a problem" - Interview with world renowned stroke expert, Pamela Duncan PhD.

Know Stroke Podcast

Chime In, Send Us a Text Message!

Episode 41

In our final episode of 2022 we had the pleasure to be joined by Pamela Duncan. Pam is a leading expert in stroke, neurologic recovery, aging and patient reported outcome measures and widely recognized for her efforts to reengineer post-acute care services and recovery following stroke. She develops consumer-oriented assessments to improve patient outcomes by guiding real-time clinical decision-making and recommendations for self-management, medical and social services.

The Compass CP platform was created based on insight gained from the COMPASS study, led by Wake Forest University School of Medicine and The University of North Carolina and conducted in 40 hospitals and with community partners across North Carolina. The study was funded through a $14 million, five-year award from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), an independent, nonprofit research funding organization authorized by Congress in 2010.

COMPASS compared the health status of stroke patients who receive conventional post-hospitalization treatment to that of patients who receive comprehensive care based on a model developed by a team of physicians, nurses, therapists, pharmacists, health system and human services leaders, and patient and caregiver stakeholders.

Because of her outstanding contributions to the investigation, management, mentorship and community service in the stroke field, Duncan is a 2020 recipient of the American Stroke Association’s David G. Sherman Lifetime Achievement Award. She is the first woman to ever be awarded this honor.

Innovating Community Fitness: Building Bridges from Research to Post-Stroke Rehab

Know Stroke Podcast

02/11/24 • 63 min

Chime In, Send Us a Text Message!

Episode 67 - Innovating Community Fitness: Building Bridges from Research to Post-Stroke Rehab.
New National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines in the UK recommend stroke patients receive at least three hours of rehabilitation a day, five days a week. This is a dramatic increase from previous guidance of 45 minutes a day. Currently there are big gaps in service when it comes to supporting people with stroke after they’re discharged from care not only in the UK but worldwide. Often, survivors have nowhere to go to exercise and accessing a conventional gym for most is challenging and for some it’s impossible.

With our continued theme of exercise as the best medicine for stroke recovery, in this episode we are diving deeper into this topic to find solutions for expanding the reach of rehab into the community and highlighting champions innovating for more solutions to make these new rehab guidelines a reality.

Meet Our Guest: Dr Rachel Young PhD MSc, BSc

Rachel is a senior research fellow at the Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre in Sheffield Hallam University. She is a chartered physiotherapist with expertise in neurological rehabilitation and exercise prescription. Rachel's research interests include the development and evaluation of rehabilitation technologies and accessible exercise solutions.

In our discussion Dr. Young reminded us that the NICE guidelines of three hours are not the first to recommend extensive rehabilitation. The National Clinical Guidance for Stroke launched in March 2023 actually advised six hours of activity a day, which may include activities of daily living, communication and exercise.

We dove into why these guidelines sent a ripple through the stroke community, including how providers don’t have the workforce to meet these new recommendations. We also discussed her research and how she believes technology, in the form of accessible exercise equipment, apps and wearables has to be part of the solution if we’re to have any hope of meeting the guidelines.

Interview with Sandra Saldana CEO and Co-Founder Alva Health

Know Stroke Podcast

01/15/22 • 60 min

Welcome to Season 3 episode 2 of the KnowStroke Podcast.

In this episode we sat down for a stimulating conversation with Sandra Saldana, CEO and co-founder at Alva Health. Sandra launched Alva Health as a spin out from Yale University entrepreneur fellowship program in 2017. Alva Health's mission is to develop, commercialize, and make accessible a first-in-class medical device that accurately detects strokes using patient-worn wearables. 2021 was a milestone year for Alva Health as they were selected as the winners of the Medtech Innovator accelerator program - the industry's global competition and accelerator for early and mid-stage medical device, diagnostic, and digital health companies. The device is shown below and looks like a livestrong band which is meant to be worn 24/7 - currently it detects hemiparesis which is a common biomarker of stroke. The more a user wears the device, the more it learns about the movement of that specific user. For any irregularities the device will alert the patient and notify 911. In the future they will be iterating on the product to incorporate speech and facial recognition technology.

Born in Monterrey, Mexico, she moved to the US at 12 years old and grew up in Houston, Texas. Sandra's father ran a successful business so from a young age she remembers having the itch to start her own company one day. She began her studies at Cornell University in upstate New York and then moved back to Houston to study a PhD in Cancer Biology. After a few years in academia Sandra made the move into industry and had her first taste of the med-device / pharma industry while running sales for a start-up in Boston.

After a few years of the C-Suite she was eager to start her own company. Not long after being accepted to Yale's MBA in healthcare program she met her co-founders and being validating a concept for a wearable to detect stroke. It was a long journey, one that she explains in detail in this episode and speaks to the hurdles along the way.
Sandra has a true understand of what is wrong with the current stroke care pathway, this will become evident when you hear her answer to our Magic Wand question. Alva Health will be launching clinical trials in the second half of 2022. We encourage you to reach out and get involved!
