With the dawn of the technological revolution, smartphone ownership, internet connectivity, and unparalleled mobile app development have become so pervasive that they have transformed almost every area of human existence. While the incorporation of telemedicine into healthcare has been long overdue, the concept has gained significant traction in the aftermath of the epidemic.[1] e use of telecommunication technologies to follow-up on patients, along with its benefits and drawbacks, has been well-documented in the literature pertaining to the developed world’s health-care system.[3] On the other hand, although its usage in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) is factually widespread, it has not been well recorded or analyzed, particularly in light of the unique health-care system, economic, cultural, and regulatory environment inherent to these countries.[2]

Patients’ follow-up is the primary challenge in delivering surgical treatment in LMICs.[1, 2] Numerous variables contribute to patients being lost to follow-up. ese elements may be classified as immediate, such as those relating to the health-care system itself, or as distal, such as those relating to individual patients, as well as sociological, cultural, and economic aspects. When seen through the lens of cerebrovascular surgery, the scenario becomes even more complicated, given the critical nature of these procedures and the patients’ vulnerability. is article discusses the usage of mobile telecommunication apps as a long-term follow-up tool for patients after cerebrovascular surgery in Iraq. As one of the major organized cerebrovascular centers in the country, we will describe our own experience which can be extensible to other LMICs with comparable situations.
