Summary

Young stroke survivors have technological resources for limb movement, speech, and peer support. While many limb and medication apps are free, speech rehabilitation apps often incur costs, and age targeting can be unclear.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Rehabilitation Technology
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Young stroke survivors (18-30 years) face unique challenges post-stroke.
  • Existing technological resources for this demographic are not well-documented.
  • Technology offers potential solutions for rehabilitation and support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and compile technological resources for young adults (18-30 years) with stroke in Australia.
  • To categorize available resources based on their function (e.g., limb movement, speech, medication reminders, peer support).
  • To assess the cost and platform availability of these technological resources.

Main Methods:

  • An environmental scan was conducted from December 2023 to March 2024.
  • Data was collected from websites, app stores, rehabilitation centers, hospitals, organizations, technology developers, and healthcare professionals.
  • 114 technological resources were identified and analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Resources included limb retraining (11%), speech rehabilitation (40%), medication reminders (20%), and social media for peer support (29%).
  • Most limb movement and medication reminder apps were free, while speech apps had associated costs.
  • Social media resources were primarily on Facebook (64%), with unclear age targeting in 46% of posts.

Conclusions:

  • A range of technological resources exists to support young stroke survivors in Australia.
  • Cost accessibility varies significantly, with speech rehabilitation apps being a notable expense.
  • Improved age specificity in social media resources is needed to effectively reach young stroke survivors.
