description Brain stroke is the leading cause of death and disability globally; hence, early identification and prediction are critical for better patient outcomes. Traditional diagnostic procedures, such as manually interpreting clinical images, are time consuming and error prone. This research investigates the use of hybrid deep learning models, such as recurrent neural networks (RNNs), long short-term memory (LSTM), and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), to improve stroke prediction accuracy. The current study compared the performance of these individual models with the developed hybrid model on the brain stroke dataset. By merging these models, we reached an overall accuracy of 96% in identifying stroke risk as low, medium, or high. This categorization may offer healthcare practitioners actionable insights by assisting them and allowing them to make better decisions. This technique represents a substantial improvement in stroke prediction and preventive healthcare practices. The model’s performance can further be tested with more complicated clinical and demographic data that will help to generalize the model for real-world clinical applications. Furthermore, combining this hybrid model with electronic health records (EHR) systems can also assist in early identification, tailored therapies, and improved stroke management, enhancing patient outcomes and lowering healthcare costs.
