Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of medical education platform based on WeChat on neurological function and quality of life of patients with ischemic stroke. 
Methods Using convenient sampling method, 430 discharged patients with ischemic stroke in Department of Neurology were selected and numbered by envelope method. The odd number was the control group and the even number was the observation group, with 215 patients in each group. The control group was given conventional health education, while the observation group was given medical education platform based on WeChat. The improved Rankin scale(mRS) and stroke-specific quality of life scale were used to compare the improvement of quality of life, neurological function and limb function of patients before discharge, at 3 months and 6 months after discharge in the two groups. 
Results At 3 months and 6 months after intervention, the mRS scores of patients in both groups were lower than those before intervention, and the differences of interaction between groups, time points, and time points between groups were statistically significant(P＜0.05). At 3 months and 6 month safter intervention, the total scores of all areas of quality of life in the two groups were increased compared with those before intervention, and the total scores of quality of life were increased; there were statistical differences in interaction between groups, time points, and time points between groups(P＜0.05). 
Conclusion The application of medical education platform based on WeChat in the transitional care of patients with ischemic stroke is helpful to reduce their mRS scores, improve the prognosis of limb function and neurological function, and improve the quality of life of patients.
