Research Grant: Community Rehabilitation After Stroke

Alon Bartal and Liora Shmueli received a 2026 grant from the Israel National Institute for Health Policy Research for “Evaluating the Continuum of Rehabilitation in the Community After Stroke.” Funded from October 2026 to September 2028, the project uses clinical and functional data from Clalit Health Services and machine learning to study rehabilitation after hospital discharge, including gaps between central and peripheral areas of Israel. The findings will support recommendations for health policy.
