Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Strokecoach.be - digital coaching program for stroke patients

The stroke coach gives patients two education sessions during hospitalization (risk factor management, review of medications and clinical evolution). During these sessions, study participation will be proposed. Eligibility will partially depend on their historical use of the internet and e-mail. The aim is to have the digital platform personalized for his/her individual needs, risk factors and remaining neurologic signs/symptoms. Tips and tricks to deal with lifestyle modification will be delivered on regular basis. Meanwhile, patients will be asked to complete on a pre-specified frequency their data regarding their cardiovascular risk profile. Additionally, participants will be contacted at 0.5-1-2 and 6 months by phone calls or videoconsultancy. To standardize, an adapted, digital version of the standardized WSO Post-Stroke Checklist shall be used as a decision-support flowchart. A report of the consultation will be derived after the videoconsultancy.
