Aims: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of technology-based health education in improving the knowledge and preparedness of patients' families for early detection of stroke symptoms.
Instrument & Methods: The study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach involving 100 respondents from five referral hospitals in Medan City. Data collection was carried out using a Likert scale questionnaire to measure the level of knowledge and preparedness of stroke patients' families. Technology-based educational interventions include the use of mobile applications, e-learning platforms, social media, and telemedicine.
Findings: The results showed that all forms of technology-based health education significantly improved respondents' understanding of the early symptoms of stroke and accelerated decision-making when symptoms were identified.
Conclusion: Digital health education has proven to be effective in strengthening early detection of stroke and has the potential to be developed more widely as a strategy to improve the quality of stroke treatment in Indonesia.
