BACKGROUND: Telestroke services represent a crucial strategy for expanding access to acute stroke care in regions with limited local stroke expertise. However, existing recommendations and guidelines are predominantly derived from evidence generated in high-income countries and based on generally resource-intensive models. Such models and evidence may not be directly transferable to resource-limited settings. This Scientific Statement aims to summarize current knowledge on telestroke in resource-limited settings, highlight key considerations for establishing networks, and provide practical recommendations to guide future implementation and research.
METHODS: Evidence from a systematic literature review of telestroke networks in resource-limited settings was integrated with results of a structured survey and consensus-building process involving the World Stroke Organization (WSO) Telestroke Committee, who also served as the writing panel. Key domains relevant to the organization, setup, and quality assurance of telestroke services were identified and synthesized into pragmatic, context-sensitive recommendations.
RESULTS: The panel defines telestroke as a model of care that includes hyperacute decision-making but also extends toward comprehensive stroke unit support. Recommendations are structured around essential and advanced components, covering organizational setup, technical requirements, clinical workflows, and quality assurance. Emphasis is placed on pragmatic, minimum viable solutions, suggesting adaptable technical configurations, standardized operating procedures, and feasible quality-monitoring frameworks.
CONCLUSION: This statement provides practical guidance to support the safe and feasible implementation of telestroke services across diverse resource settings. Future research should focus on defining minimum effective models, evaluating individual components of telestroke systems, and addressing economic, regulatory, and cross-border implementation challenges. This scientific statement has been reviewed and approved by the WSO Executive.
