Nearly 25% of strokes are recurrent. Yet when you look for data on what life actually looks like after a stroke, especially for women and ethnic minorities, the evidence thins out quickly. That gap isn’t academic. It shapes outcomes. Despite the high burden of stroke and TIA in the US, research still struggles to reflect the lived realities of Black and Hispanic women. Recovery pathways, recurrence risk, access to care, long-term impact. Much of this remains under-measured or not measured at all. When lived experience isn’t properly understood, it isn’t properly designed for. And when it isn’t designed for, inequities persist. As the conversation continues at the International Stroke Conference (#ISC26) (where we will be presenting), this gap deserves sustained attention. At SökerData, our role is focused and deliberate: bringing demographic and geographic intelligence into view so population-specific experiences and outcomes are no longer invisible.
