Abstract

Advances in smartphone technology have revolutionized health care providing innovative approaches to improve health and well-being. Emerging mobile health (mHealth) apps are becoming increasingly available and offer opportunities to support self-management needs in people with stroke; however, experiences with mHealth among this population are not well understood. The objective of this study is to conduct a cross-sectional survey on smartphone and mHealth app use for adults with stroke. A pilot survey of 50 adults with stroke was conducted. In all, 51% of respondents reported using their smartphone more frequently than before their stroke, and 91% reported having some degree of difficulty with its use. Respondents reported on specific challenges with app use and discussed desired content and features. Occupational therapists should familiarize themselves with valid, accessible, usable, and acceptable apps for people with stroke and consider implementing mHealth apps in self-management intervention plans to improve health, rehabilitation, and community integration outcomes in this population.
