The following topics were discussed in Part 3: Patient-Reported Outcome Measures employed in vascular technology at NYU and their utility; the extent to which patients who experienced a stroke are suitable candidates for becoming competent self-managers so that they can be effective in self-monitoring, recognizing and reporting symptoms, and treating side effects, and efforts undertaken at NYU to foster self-management by patients; if patients are treated at a presenting hospital, whether teleneurology is involved in providing care; and assessing the value of self-wearable devices for diagnostic purposes and their future prospects for achieving better health care outcomes?

The following topics were discussed in Part 2: once patients arrive at NYU Langone Health emergency rooms and a stroke is confirmed, the steps in treatment that will follow; after stroke treatments are provided, how prognostication is affected by the interplay between demographic factors, such as age, sex, and ethnicity, the kind of stroke, stroke causation, and clinical severity; the role, if any, that blood biomarkers play in improving the prognostic assessment; how a patient’s cognition is affected by having a stroke, the degree to which factors such as pre- and post-stroke physical fitness, smoking, and body weight play a role; and the kind of impact that related mental states, such as depression and anxiety can have on cognition.
