The study of deviations in human health is valuable, as it will help to gain more profound knowledge about diseases. Moreover, it will help spread awareness and form ways to treat or relieve symptoms. Aphasia is characterized as a deviation that affects people’s perception of speech and interferes with the perception of others’ speech (Doogan et al., 2018). Hence, the analysis of this disease and its origin will help trace the brain’s work since it participates in auditory processing and decoding of incoming information. In addition, the human brain is involved in the formulation and production of outgoing messages (Carter, 2019). Therefore, it is possible to compare the brain of a healthy person and a patient with aphasia to understand which functions are damaged or incorrectly functioning.
Stroke has severe consequences for the health of people who once experienced it. Thus, the study of various methods of its treatment and relief of symptoms is of particular value. In modern society, medicine is experiencing rapid development, leading to the introduction of new innovative methods for treating strokes. Air-Mobile Stroke Unit becomes one of such investigated approaches. A scientific paper that analyzed its effectiveness in rural regions was written by Walter et al.
Therefore, this work focuses on the possibility of residents of remote territories receiving high-quality stroke treatment. The proposed program involves the use of specially designed aircraft for “the diagnosis and treatment of acute stroke at remote emergency sites” (Walter et al., 2018, p. 568). This initiative, called Air-Mobile Stroke Unit, will be one of the driving forces to reduce the inequality in the provision of care before, after and during the stroke for the entire population. At the same time, it is worth noting that this technology still requires further study, but it is already considered quite promising.
