ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is testing a smartphone app designed to help people who have recently had a type of stroke called acute ischemic stroke. The app will send early warnings about temperature-related health risks and provide advice on how to protect themselves, with the goal of reducing the chance of having another stroke. Researchers want to see if using this app can help stroke patients stay healthier and avoid future problems.

To take part in this study, individuals need to be between 40 and 80 years old and have been diagnosed with an ischemic stroke within the past two weeks. They must live locally, be able to follow study instructions, and own a smartphone or similar device. Participants will receive guidance through the app, which aims to keep them informed and help manage their health after stroke. The study has not started recruiting yet, but it offers a new way to support stroke recovery using technology.

Eligibility criteria

• Inclusion Criteria:
• • Aged 40 to 80, with no gender restrictions;
• • Acute ischemic stroke inpatients within 2 weeks of onset, where the onset time is the time when stroke symptoms appear or the last known normal time of the patient (when it is an onset during sleep or the symptom onset time cannot be accurately obtained due to aphasia, impaired consciousness, etc.);
• • Confirmed diagnosis of ischemic stroke by CT or MRI of the brain within 2 weeks after symptom onset;
• • Local residents (residing for ≥6 months); ⑤ Patients who voluntarily participate in the study, have high compliance, and can sign the informed consent form;
• • Patients who own a smartphone or other smart devices.
• Exclusion Criteria:
• • Patients diagnosed with other cerebrovascular diseases (hemorrhagic stroke, transient ischemic attack, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, etc.) or non-cerebrovascular diseases;
• • Known pregnant or lactating women, or those who tested positive on a pregnancy test before cluster randomization;
• • Patients with other conditions that may affect participation in the trial (e.g., refractory hypertension, severe aphasia, etc.);
• • Patients undergoing psychiatric/psychological treatment that may contaminate the results; ⑤ Patients with a life expectancy of less than one year (e.g., coexisting malignant tumors, severe cardiopulmonary diseases, etc.); ⑥ Patients already participating in other interventional clinical studies that may influence the outcome assessment; ⑦ Patients for whom the investigator deems unsuitable for participation in this study or who may pose significant risks to the patients (e.g., cognitive impairment preventing understanding and/or compliance with the study procedures and/or follow-up).
