We need your help to improve the care for patients recovering from stroke.

About the trial

NeuRA are developing a comprehensive digital-rehabilitation program that integrates a tailored high-dose exercise program with usual care for patients recovering from stroke. The program will improve physical mobility and target balance, strength and functional tasks that show promise in improving health-related quality-of-life and independence in patients recovering from stroke.

In the interview we will ask you questions about your needs, preferences, and priorities as a person who has experienced a stroke or is the carer of a person who has experienced a stroke.

We will use the information you provide to build a digital exercise program and also understand how innovative technologies in improving the healthcare system.
