Stroke apps
Stroke apps
- Stroke apps can be used to prevent stroke or help with the recovery afterwards.
- They include features such as health tracking, medication reminders, and rehabilitation exercises to support you in managing your condition and improving your recovery.
For people recovering from a stroke, apps may provide rehabilitation exercises, speech therapy support, and progress tracking to assist with recovery at home. Some apps also allow you to share data with your healthcare providers, helping to improve your long-term care and outcomes.

Before choosing an app, think about how it will benefit you and what you want it to be able to do.
- An app will only be helpful if you use it, so it needs to be something you like using and find easy to use.
- If you find the app difficult to use, or you don't like the imagery or look of it, or the language it uses, you may want to find another one that suits you better.
