Yogyakarta, 9 November 2026 — Prof. Arjune Sen, Professor of Global Epilepsy at the University of Oxford, United Kingdom, is among the distinguished speakers at today’s Visiting Professor & Guest Lecture programme hosted by the Faculty of Medicine, Public Health and Nursing, Universitas Gadjah Mada (FK-KMK UGM).
In his lecture, “Improving Post-stroke Epilepsy Care: From Challenges to Solutions,” Prof. Sen addresses an important challenge in stroke management: the identification, assessment, and long-term management of epilepsy following stroke.
Post-stroke epilepsy is a significant neurological complication that can affect patients’ recovery, quality of life, and long-term healthcare needs. Recognising these challenges, the session provides an opportunity to explore clinical perspectives on improving the early identification of epilepsy risks, strengthening patient monitoring, and supporting continuity of care after stroke.
Prof. Sen’s participation also highlights the importance of international academic and clinical collaboration in advancing stroke care. His involvement builds on the ongoing Digital Twin for Stroke Care Network, which connects researchers, clinicians, and institutions from the United Kingdom, Vietnam, and Indonesia to explore data-driven and patient-centred approaches to stroke management.
The lecture forms part of the session “Transforming Post-Stroke Care: Lessons from the UK and Vietnam,” moderated by dr. Desin Pambudi Sejahtera, M.Sc., Sp.N., Subsp.E.N.K. (K), a neurologist at Dr. Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta.
Through this Visiting Professor programme, FK-KMK UGM seeks to strengthen knowledge exchange, expand international research partnerships, and explore opportunities to integrate clinical expertise with emerging digital technologies for better post-stroke care.
The programme continues through 11 November 2026 with academic discussions and hospital visits in Yogyakarta and Jakarta, supporting further collaboration on stroke care, epilepsy management, and digital health innovation.
