Wearable Devices for Secondary Prevention of Ischemic Stroke

February 25, 2020 updated by: Di Lazzaro Vincenzo, Campus Bio-Medico University
Ischemic stroke is an important cause of death and disability in Western countries. Different risk factors have been identified such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, smoke, atrial fibrillation, obesity, and sedentary. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of an approach based on the use of wearable devices for the identification and reduction of risk factors in patients with previous history of ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack.
