Purpose of reviewDelayed presentation at the hospital contributes to poorer patient outcomes and undertreatment of acute stroke patients. This review will discuss recent developments in prehospital stroke management and mobile stroke units aimed to improve timely access to treatment within the past 2 years and will point towards future directions.Recent findingsRecent progress in research into prehospital stroke management and mobile stroke units ranges from interventions aimed at improving patients’ help-seeking behaviour, to the education of emergency medical services team members, to the use of innovative referral methods, such as diagnostic scales, and finally to evidence of improved outcomes by the use of mobile stroke units.SummaryUnderstanding is increasing about the need for optimizing stroke management over the entire stroke rescue chain with the goal of improving access to highly effective time-sensitive treatment. In the future, we can expect that novel digital technologies and artificial intelligence will become relevant in effective interaction between prehospital and in-hospital stroke-treating teams, with beneficial effects on patients’ outcomes.
