Manage Complex Neuro Cases, Tele-Neuro & Tele-stroke
In research, hospitals with a telestroke program show 10–55% higher thrombolytic use and lower 30-day mortality. Keep patients local. Manage complex neuro cases in-house; with our Tele-Neurology & Telestroke solution.
Assessing Access & Capacity Challenges
Stroke and other neurological emergencies require rapid expert evaluation. Yet, many hospitals particularly in rural or community settings lack round-the-clock neurologist coverage. This leads to treatment delays, unnecessary transfers, increased mortality, and revenue loss.
Keep Patients Local: Manage complex neuro cases in-house; avoid unnecessary transfers.
Equum Medical’s 24/7 Tele-Neurology service delivers immediate access to board-certified neurologists via high-definition telehealth. From guiding stroke codes and interpreting imaging to assessing seizure activity or traumatic brain injuries, Equum integrates directly into hospital workflows for real-time specialist input.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Tele-Neurology & Telestroke and why is it critical?
Tele-Neurology & Telestroke provides immediate 24/7 access to board-certified neurologists and stroke specialists for rapid evaluation of neurological emergencies. Our virtual neurologists can evaluate patients within minutes, make tPA decisions, and provide treatment guidance that can be the difference between recovery and permanent disability.
How quickly can stroke neurologists respond for evaluations?
Our stroke neurologists are available 24/7 with response times typically under 15 minutes for stroke alerts. We understand that the therapeutic window for stroke treatment is narrow, and every minute counts. Our network is designed to provide immediate expert evaluation when stroke is suspected.
Can Telestroke help hospitals become stroke-ready?
Yes, Telestroke is often a key component of stroke readiness programs. Our services can help hospitals meet stroke certification requirements, improve door-to-needle times, and provide the neurological expertise needed to treat stroke patients locally rather than transferring them. This capability can be transformative for community hospitals.
What types of neurological conditions can be evaluated virtually?
Our neurologists can evaluate a wide range of conditions including acute stroke, seizures, altered mental status, headaches, movement disorders, and other neurological emergencies. They provide expert assessment, treatment recommendations, and ongoing management guidance for complex neurological cases.
How does Telestroke improve patient outcomes?
Telestroke dramatically improves outcomes by providing immediate access to stroke expertise, enabling faster treatment decisions, and reducing time to intervention. Studies show that hospitals with Telestroke programs have significantly better door-to-needle times, higher rates of appropriate tPA administration, and improved patient outcomes.
What technology is needed for Tele-Neurology services?
We work with your existing telehealth infrastructure and are platform-agnostic. High-quality video capability is essential for neurological examinations, but we can work with various technology solutions. Our focus is on delivering clinical expertise rather than requiring specific proprietary systems.
How can we implement Tele-Neurology & Telestroke at our hospital?
Implementation begins with assessing your current stroke protocols and neurological care capabilities. Contact Equum Medical to discuss how our Tele-Neurology & Telestroke services can enhance your emergency neurology capabilities, potentially qualifying your hospital for stroke designation while improving patient outcomes in your community.
