According to the World Stroke Organization (WSO) Global Stroke Fact Sheet 2022, there are approximately 12.2 million new strokes worldwide each year, based on the Global Burden of Disease estimates. Furthermore, WSO notes that 1 in 4 adults over 25 will experience a stroke in their lifetime—a powerful reminder that stroke prevention must begin long before symptoms appear. Hypertension (high blood pressure) remains one of the most significant and modifiable risk factors for stroke, as confirmed by both WSO and WHO data.
These figures underscore that stroke is not merely an acute medical emergency but also a long-term public health challenge, intrinsically linked to blood pressure control, lifestyle habits, and continuous monitoring.
As a tech-health enterprise connecting health care team, patients, and data, TeleRPM delivers a comprehensive RPM solution centered on blood pressure management:
- Its home smart BP monitor automatically syncs data to the cloud.
- The platform enables healthcare teams to view real-time BP trends, detect anomalies, issue alerts, and adjust care plans promptly.
- TeleRPM integrates activity tracking and lifestyle assessment into its RPM system, creating a closed loop of "blood pressure monitoring, healthy behavior, and remote intervention."
- On World Stroke Day, TeleRPM will also host online health education events to promote the concept of "early monitoring, early intervention, early management."
Through this solution, TeleRPM strives to help households transform "hidden hypertension and stroke risks" into "visible monitoring and proactive management," shifting stroke care from reactive treatment to proactive prevention.
On this World Stroke Day, TeleRPM encourages all communities to take action:
- Monitor blood pressure regularly, especially for high-risk individuals (those with hypertension, diabetes, obesity, or atrial fibrillation).
- Use home smart BP devices and share readings with clinicians for remote collaboration.
- Adopt a healthy lifestyle—maintain a balanced diet, exercise regularly, avoid smoking, limit alcohol, control weight, and manage stress.
