Secondary Healthcare System

Secondary Healthcare System

Secondary healthcare is offered by a specialist, generally in hospitals or clinics for patients referred by primary healthcare providers. It occurs when a person has an illness or injury that requires specific medical care. Secondary care is often referred to as acute care. Secondary care can range from uncomplicated care to repair a minor laceration or treat a strep throat infection to more complicated emergent care, such as treating a head injury sustained in an automobile accident.

Area of Science:

Digital Health
Stroke Prevention
Co-design Methodology

Background:

Low participation (<2%) in traditional stroke/TIA secondary prevention programs.
Digital health technology offers a promising alternative for post-stroke lifestyle support.
User-centered design is crucial for successful digital health interventions in stroke care.

Purpose of the Study:

To co-design a multicomponent digital technology support program for stroke secondary prevention.
Involve individuals with lived experience (consumers) and clinicians in the design process.
Develop a program tailored to user needs and preferences for stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) secondary prevention.

Main Methods:

Distributed user needs surveys to 112 consumers and 54 clinicians.
Conducted two rounds of user experience workshops for design and usability testing.
Iteratively refined the digital health program based on consumer and clinician feedback.

Main Results:

Clinicians emphasized frequent monitoring of physical activity, weight, and sleep.
Both consumers and clinicians found alerts for health deterioration important (90% and 84%, respectively).
High intention to use the digital program (80% consumers, 86% clinicians) and integrate it into consultations.

Conclusions:

An iterative co-design process yielded a consumer app with wearable integration and a clinician portal.
The developed digital health program aims to support secondary prevention of stroke.
Feasibility testing is underway to evaluate the program's acceptability and use.
