AI-Driven Health Management to Prevent Ischemic Stroke in High-Risk Adults

This study will evaluate whether an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven dynamic health management strategy can help prevent ischemic stroke in adults at high risk of stroke. Participants will be identified through community-based screening in Beijing using the AI-ExpoStroke model together with established stroke risk factors.

Communities will be randomly assigned to either an AI-driven health management group or a usual community-based health management group. Participants in the AI-driven group will receive continuous health management supported by a digital platform, mobile applications or WeChat-based tools, wearable-device data when available, personalized health guidance, and remote support from community health care providers. Participants in the usual-care group will receive routine community health services, including health examinations, health education, chronic disease follow-up, and medication guidance.

Participants will be followed for 36 months. The main goal is to determine whether AI-driven health management reduces the occurrence of first-ever ischemic stroke. The study will also evaluate transient ischemic attacks, stroke-related disability, mortality, control of major vascular risk factors, adherence to health management, and health economic outcomes.
