## Sobre este episodio

In this episode, we dive deep into the latest clinical evidence that is transforming how we approach stroke recovery. We explore the critical "dose-response" relationship , where higher intensity of rehabilitation in the acute phase is directly associated with a decreased risk of 30-day and 90-day hospital readmission .We also tackle the ongoing debate between inpatient and home-based care . Our discussion highlights how home-based models are not only non-inferior in functional outcomes but can be three times more cost-effective , reducing the cost per point gained on the Barthel Index from $152 in hospitals to just $48 at home. What you will learn in this episode: The HIT Factor: Why High-Intensity Training (HIT) for walking is considered a "good value" investment, with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of only $6,180 per Quality-Adjusted Life Year (QALY). The Power of Gamification: How hybrid models—combining remote monitoring and gamified technology —allow patients to self-administer over 80% of their therapy. This innovation can slash therapist costs from 1,903 toapproximately ∗∗338 per patient\*\*. Prevention is Key: How intensive therapy prevents common post-discharge complications, including aspiration pneumonia, falls, and chronic depression . Scalability: How technology helps bridge the gap between medical guidelines and the current shortage of therapists. Whether you are a healthcare professional, a policy maker, or a caregiver, this episode provides a data-driven look at how we can deliver better patient outcomes at a fraction of the cost . Tune in to discover how we can close the gap between evidence-based guidelines and real-world standard of care!
