Royal Philips and Medtronic Neurovascular are entering a strategic advocacy partnership that aims to deliver timely stroke care.
The two further expanded and strengthened their partnerships with the World Stroke Organization (WSO) by joining the newly established WSO Advocacy Coalition. This coalition brings together stakeholders that include healthcare professionals, patient groups, and policymakers with the goal of developing strategies to address the global burden of stroke.
Their joint efforts focus on three key areas: raising awareness, improving access to treatment, and leveraging technology and innovation, which includes using advanced imaging and digital health tools for early stroke diagnosis and treatment.
The collaboration will be highlighted at the upcoming World Stroke Congress, October 23 to 26, in Abu Dhabi, where Philips and Medtronic Neurovascular will host a Stroke Advocacy roundtable session.
