Purpose:
The aim of this study was to better understand the attitudes towards the use of technology to support chronic stroke survivors in a home-based setting.
Methods:
A quantitative study was used on the data obtained from a face to face survey with the sample group, incorporating quantitative statistical analysis.
Results:
Participants reported positive attitudes towards using technology for their own independent health management. The purpose of the home-based technology was different: source of information, supporting self-management, pharmacological treatment reminders… and differed according to age, educational level and survivor disability. Installing devices and sharing information remains a challenge.
Conclusions:
100% of stroke survivors living in the community with any type of disability, reported that they would like to use technology as a tool to help improve their health status.
