The global pandemic ignited by SARS-CoV2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) infection has shaken the foundations of healthcare delivery across the world. This disruption, however, has been met with a number of inventive approaches in both clinical care and biomedical research. In this special report, we discuss several key innovations in stroke care including telemedicine, mobile stroke units, and virtual health clinics. We highlight their value even after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and argue that the time is now to study these approaches rigorously in their expanded use as alternatives to in-person standard of care.
