Virtual Preventive Neurology

Secondary Stroke Prevention Through Lifestyle Modification

 

 

  

BrainHealth Program Overview

This integrated telehealth program aligns with current AHA/ASA secondary stroke prevention guidelines while leveraging telehealth to enhance accessibility and engagement. All services are designed to support the referring physician's treatment plan while providing comprehensive lifestyle modification support. Some services are covered by insurance.

The BrainHealth Program includes: 
  • Synchronous telehealth sessions with a trained BrainHealth Educator (RN or allied health professional)
  • SMS-based coaching and reminders
  • Telephonic consultations
  • Digital education resources
  • Family/Care Partner engagement platform

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE

  • Recurrent stroke risk: 13-16% within first year, reaching 43% by 10 years

  • 99% of community-dwelling stroke survivors have ≥1 unmanaged risk factor

  • 91% have ≥2 unmanaged risk factors

     

IDEAL CANDIDATES

  • Post-stroke/TIA patients medically stable for exercise

  • Multiple modifiable risk factors

  • Capable of participating in telehealth sessions

  • Motivated to make lifestyle changes

FAQs

Are there exclusion criteria for the program?

During our comprehensive risk assessment, we may identify patients requiring immediate medical intervention or those with advanced dementia unsuitable for our virtual telehealth program. In such cases, we provide appropriate recommendations for alternative care pathways.
What is the scientific basis of the lifestyle intervention program?

Our program integrates best practices from multiple evidence-based interventions, including the landmark FINGER (Finnish Geriatric Intervention Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment and Disability) trial and other notable academic programs. The FINGER study (NCT01041989), a two-year randomized controlled trial, demonstrated that a multidomain lifestyle intervention (encompassing diet, exercise, cognitive training, vascular risk monitoring, and social engagement) can significantly slow cognitive decline and improve performance across various cognitive domains in at-risk populations. Building on this and other cutting-edge research, we've developed a comprehensive approach that combines the most effective elements from various scientifically validated protocols to optimize cognitive health outcomes.
What is BrainHealth's core mission?

Our mission is to revolutionize cognitive care delivery for the millions of patients with undiagnosed or underserved cognitive conditions facing critical access barriers. By augmenting traditional clinical workflows with tech-enabled services, we aim to expedite access to neurological care, thereby optimizing patient outcomes and potentially modifying disease trajectories.
