Helpful Apps for Stroke Patients

Stroke can often affect speech processes, and there are apps that can help in the rehabilitation process, as well as apps that help facilitate a greater understanding of stroke in general.

• MyHeart &Stroke Health (free): This application can be used for those who have had an acute stroke or a risk for stroke. It has a blood pressure tracker, medication tracker, a way to manage appointments, as well as information on low sodium foods that lower blood pressure in stroke prevention.

• Neurology Book: This is an app that can be used to understand the pathological side of stroke in an easy to understand language. It can get technical, but can provide a patient with good information to facilitate a more in-depth understanding of the physiological/neurological components of a stroke. 
• Comprehension TherAppy: (it's a pun) This app can be helpful for patients who experience speech aphasia after a stroke incidence. It works as a game that a patient can rebuild the verbal connections to different pictures, and can also produce a report to give to a speech therapist to demonstrate the progress in speech rehabilitation.
