Abstract

Abstract: Stroke is a major cause of death and disability among Chinese residents, imposing a heavy burden on society. In the face of this severe situation in stroke treatment, the stroke emergency map has emerged. By integrating medical resources through advanced technologies such as geographic information system and artificial intelligence, it has established a comprehensive stroke treatment network covering the entire process from emergency response, transfer, treatment to rehabilitation. This can significantly improve the efficiency of stroke emergency response and enhance patients’ prognosis. As an innovative technological platform, the stroke emergency map plays a crucial role in improving the efficiency of stroke emergency response and treatment outcomes. Currently, the stroke emergency map in China has achieved initial success and has a good development trend. However, it still faces some important challenges in practical application. To better leverage the map’s role, future research will focus on how to enhance this platform, strengthen its promotion, and improve its application effects to better address the severe stroke treatment situation in China and alleviate the heavy burden brought by stroke to society.

摘要： 卒中是中国居民致死致残的主要原因，给社会带来了极重的负担。面对这一严峻的卒中救治形势，卒中急救地图应运而生。卒中急救地图通过地理信息系统和人工智能等先进技术整合医疗资源，构建了涵盖急救、转运、治疗到康复全流程的卒中救治网络，可较为显著地提升卒中的急救效率并改善患者预后。作为创新技术平台，卒中急救地图在提升卒中急救效率和治疗效果方面至关重要。目前，中国卒中急救地图取得初步成效，且发展态势良好，然而在实际应用中，仍然面临一些重要挑战。为了更好地发挥地图的作用，未来的研究应着眼于如何完善这一平台，加强推广，提升应用效果，才能更好地应对我国严峻的卒中救治形势，减轻卒中为社会带来的沉重负担。
