Smart Education for MACE Prevention and Early Detection

Plain-language summary

With its high incidence, recurrence, disability, and mortality, stroke has become a significant health challenge in society today. However, "stroke can be prevented and treated," and high-risk groups for stroke are the primary beneficiaries of stroke prevention and control measures. Yet, these populations often have low awareness of proper stroke prevention and treatment knowledge. The reasons for this may include limited coverage, lack of accessibility, inadequate relevance, and uneven content quality in traditional health education measures. To address these issues, innovative intervention strategies are needed to explore more effective health education methods. The occurrence of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE), such as stroke, can be reduced by improving the knowledge and practical abilities of high-risk populations regarding scientific stroke prevention and treatment. One such strategy is the use of smartphone-based information software, which can break the constraints of time and space, delivering health education knowledge to a broader audience. To enhance accessibility, key knowledge points can be repeatedly delivered to the target population through one-way push notifications and interactive Q\&A, allowing for more engaging and flexible learning. In terms of improving pertinence, it is essential to tailor health education delivery to the individual needs of the educatees, considering factors such as age, education level, and risk factors. Furthermore, the quality of health education content must be authoritative, scientifically accurate, easy to understand, and practically applicable. The content should be based on the latest scientific research and professional medical practice, reviewed by authoritative institutions or experts, and should align with the needs of the educated populations for self-health management. Additionally, human and financial costs should be considered when designing such interventions. In this study, a large-scale medical model based on a stroke prevention and treatment knowledge base, integrated with an intelligent medical system and interactive Q\&A, is employed. This approach ensures content quality while minimizing the need for additional manpower in education and Q\&A, making the intervention more cost-effective and scalable for widespread use. The purpose of this study is to explore whether the incidence of MACE in a high-risk stroke population receiving interactive medical model education-based on a stroke prevention and treatment knowledge base-is lower than in a group without such interactive education.
