World Stroke Day 2025
29 October 2025
Today on World Stroke Day we at Skaaltec raise the alarm: stroke is far more prevalent than many realise. According to the World Stroke Organization, 1 in 4 people will experience a stroke in their lifetime [1].
In Switzerland alone around 20 000 people suffer a stroke each year, and many face long-term invisible consequences [2]. At Skaaltec we are developing a neurorehabilitation system to help stroke survivors regain arm function and rebuild independence. We believe the road to recovery begins with awareness to the prevalence of the problem.
