Mobile Health (mHealth) Applications for Stroke Rehabilitation: A mini review

Abstract

Mobile Health (mHealth) applications are transforming
stroke rehabilitation, through personalized care and datadriven
insights. These applications employ AI-driven
algorithms, tele-rehabilitation, wearable technologies, and
gamification to enhance recovery process. The objective of
this mini review is to explore the transformative role of
Mobile Health (mHealth) applications in stroke
rehabilitation, highlighting its capacity to transcend
geographical barriers and establish extensive support
networks connecting stroke survivors, caregivers, and
healthcare professionals. Particularly in developing
countries like Pakistan, where healthcare resources may be
limited, mHealth offers a viable solution to bridge the gap
in stroke care. By facilitating access to rehabilitation
services, mHealth can significantly improve outcomes for
stroke survivors in these regions. This integration of mobile
technology with stroke rehabilitation not only promises
personalized and more effective rehabilitation but also
presents a unique blend of technology and compassion.
This evolution in healthcare holds the potential to redefine
stroke recovery, marking a significant milestone in the
journey towards more inclusive, efficient, and
compassionate care solutions.
