Abstract

Stroke remains a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. In response, many governments have developed stroke policies emphasizing prevention, early detection, timely treatment, and rehabilitation. However, the implementation of those strategies remains uneven, challenged by fragmented health systems, unequal access to care, and resource constraints. Digital health tools provide robust solutions to enhance national and regional stroke policies by improving data collection, care access and coordination, monitoring, education, and public engagement. This review explores how digital health can strengthen stroke care systems across different contexts, highlighting real-world applications, policy integration, and strategic enablers for equitable implementation.
