NCT07511868 · NOT YET RECRUITING
Digital Application for Stroke Health
This trial is testing a smartphone app called StrokeApp to see whether it helps stroke and TIA survivors recover and stay healthy after leaving the hospital. Researchers will compare 500 patients using the app alongside standard care versus standard care alone, measuring quality of life at three months. It is a Phase NA trial — this designation typically applies to non-drug device or behavioral studies rather than drug efficacy testing.
