cians and health care teams to increase stroke awareness.We hypothesized that the use of social media could make the material more accessible to a lay audience. Catching an audience's attention requires a quick and interesting presentation. Educational initiatives disseminated this way may be useful in promoting general medical knowledge, such as earlier recognition of stroke signs and immediate action once a stroke is suspected. Toward this goal, Dr. Jing Zhao at Fudan University and Dr. Renyu Liu at University of Pennsylvania collaborated in 2016 to create Stroke 120, a fantastic tool suitable for use in China for stroke awareness education [9,10]. They created various educational materials, including an animated video to help people understand and remember the signs and symptoms of stroke. The video was subsequently translated into more than 12 local dialects and promoted in corresponding regions [9,10].
