Summary

Most stroke survivors live with other chronic health conditions that can negatively affect their recovery and overall health and well-being. Although stroke care has improved, there are still many challenges to the delivery of community-based stroke care. These challenges include: poor coordination of care across health care providers and settings; limited communication among health care providers; limited use of evidence-based treatment guidelines; difficulties navigating community services and supports; and limited client and family caregiver involvement in making healthcare decisions. The investigators developed a new mobile health (mHealth) application, My Stroke Team (MYST), to address these challenges to improve the overall quality of stroke care at home. This study will expand this work to: 1) explore the feasibility and acceptability of this mobile tool, 2) determine its impact and usability for home care providers, stroke survivors, and their family caregivers, and 3) determine its impact on the costs of use of health services.
