ClinConnect Summary

The ROOMMATE clinical trial is studying a new system designed to help adults recovering from subacute strokes improve their rehabilitation. This system includes multimedia monitors and special tools that offer games and exercises to support recovery right at the patient's bedside. The trial will take place in rehabilitation clinics in Italy and Romania, and it aims to see how well this technology, along with coaching for patients and their caregivers, can help improve daily functioning, satisfaction, and overall well-being.

To participate in this study, individuals must have experienced a stroke within the last three months and be willing to take part. Key factors for eligibility include being able to use the technology with some assistance, as well as not having severe vision, hearing, or cognitive impairments that would prevent effective use. If chosen for the trial, participants will use the ROOMMATE system alongside their usual care during their hospital stay, completely free of charge. This trial not only focuses on physical recovery but also looks at how patients feel about the treatment and its impact on their lives.
