Statistics about stroke

Statistics with stroke can very frightening, for example a report from American Heart Association says:

“Someone in the United States has a stroke every 40 seconds. Every 4 minutes, someone dies of stroke.”
Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics—2020 Update: A Report From the American Heart Association, 29 Jan 2020, <https://doi.org/10.1161/CIR.0000000000000757>

But it also a very big problem worldwide:

“Annually, 15 million people worldwide suffer a stroke. Of these, 5 million die and another 5 million are left permanently disabled, placing a burden on family and community.”
Worldwide Health Organization, <http://www.emro.who.int/health-topics/stroke-cerebrovascular-accident/index.html>

People who have survived stroke are more likely to be in the need of permanent help. Rehabilitation requires a lot of resources, and in many cases they need to be personalised. Thanks to technology, nowadays this could be solved in an easier way. The next button is leading to an example for robot technology with machine learning:

Below you can find some examples for the scientific papers we used in our idea:

Researchers have created a virtual reality clinic to make it easier for stroke survivors to attend their physical and occupational therapy sessions.
