Abstract

Stroke is a disease with very high socio-economic impact. In average, the healthcare expenditure cost for Strokes across different countries in Europe and the USA is 3 % of their entire healthcare expenditure. This includes inpatient treatment cost, outpatient hospital visits and long-term rehabilitation and care. Analysis showed that costs of long-term care have increased from 13 to 49 % of overall costs in average in recent years. Therefore, there is an urgent need for devising an effective long-term care and rehabilitation strategy for Stroke patients, which involves patients actively in the process while minimising costly human intervention.
