RecoverNow: A mobile tablet-based therapy platform for early stroke rehabilitation.

Introduction: Stroke survivors frequently experience a range of post-stroke deficits. Specialized stroke rehabilitation improves recovery, especially if it is started early post-stroke. However, resource limitations often preclude early rehabilitation.

RecoverNow: A patient perspective on the delivery of mobile tablet-based stroke rehabilitation in the acute care setting.

Background/aim: We previously reported the feasibility of RecoverNow (a mobile tablet-based post-stroke communication therapy in acute care). RecoverNow has since expanded to include fine motor and cognitive therapies. Our objectives were to gain a better understanding of patient experiences and recovery goals using mobile tablets.
