Stroke is a condition that is more predominant in developed countries.However, it continues to be considered a high-cost health pathology worldwide, both in the medium and long term. Therefore, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation are vital. Additionally, the assistance of artificial intelligence in these three principles has been increasing, given its effectiveness and efficiency in performance.Objective: This study analyzes the available evidence regarding the use of artificial intelligence in primary care for stroke patients.Methods: A scoping review was conducted on three indexed databases, Science Direct, Web of Science, and PubMed, resulting in the identification of 1382 articles.Initially, these terms were filtered on the basis of the year of publication and language.A second distinction was subsequently made through the title and abstract of each publication.Results: A total of 33 articles summarizing 5 categories were selected: healthcare from a general point of view; stroke prediction; the diagnosis and treatment of both stroke and its sequelae; the risk of death in the poststroke period; and the assistance of AI in some specialties related to the disease.Artificial intelligence has the potential to improve stroke care, but more research is still needed to evaluate its performance in clinical practice.
