ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how stroke survivors use their smartphones in the first three months after leaving the hospital. Researchers want to understand how smartphone interactions might relate to the participants’ daily activities and overall well-being. By tracking the smartphone usage of 50 stroke survivors, they aim to see if there are any connections between how people use their phones and their recovery progress.

To participate in this study, individuals must be between 18 and 99 years old, have experienced a new or recurring stroke, and be discharged home after rehabilitation. They should also own an Android smartphone that they use themselves. Unfortunately, people with serious memory issues or mental health conditions that could affect their ability to participate will not be eligible. If you join the study, you can expect to share information about your smartphone usage at various points during the trial, helping researchers learn more about the recovery process for stroke survivors.
