## Resource

In this episode, Duane Mancini speaks with vascular neurologist Anit Behera about what it takes to improve stroke care from the ER through long-term recovery. Anit shares his path through an MD-PhD in outcomes research, how consulting and clinical trials shaped his innovation mindset, and why stroke care advancement spans four phases: prevention, acute treatment, post-acute care, and rehabilitation. He explains where he sees major opportunity next, pointing to emerging devices and research in post-stroke rehab alongside stronger prevention strategies and better health literacy. The conversation also breaks down how clinicians evaluate new technologies, emphasizing rigorous data, patient safety, and real-world workflow fit, plus the role of key opinion leaders and conferences in driving adoption.
