About
Ali M. Al-Khathaami is a leading figure in stroke neurology and telemedicine, with a particular focus on improving stroke care delivery in Saudi Arabia and the broader Middle East. His research centers on the cultural and systemic barriers to adopting advanced medical technologies, especially in emergency neurology. In his highly cited pilot study (11 citations), Al-Khathaami pioneered the investigation of cultural acceptance of robotic telestroke medicine, demonstrating that both patients and healthcare providers in Saudi Arabia are receptive to this technology—a critical finding for expanding access to acute stroke care in underserved regions. This work has laid the groundwork for integrating telemedicine into local healthcare systems, addressing unique cultural sensitivities while maintaining clinical efficacy. Beyond this, Al-Khathaami has contributed to understanding stroke epidemiology and treatment protocols in the Gulf region, helping to adapt international guidelines to local populations. His research not only advances clinical practice but also informs health policy, making him a key voice in the global conversation on equitable stroke care.
