The hardest part often starts after discharge.
In hospital there is a team in the room. At home there is you, a folder of instructions, and a follow up date some weeks away.
You are asked to do things nobody taught you
Moving someone from a bed to a chair safely is a skill. Most families learn it by trial and error, on someone they love.
The questions do not wait for office hours
Is this swelling normal. Should they be this tired. Is it safe to give them this to eat. The team is not there at six in the morning.
Small mistakes have real consequences
Pressure sores, falls and choking are common after a stroke, and most of them are preventable when someone knows what to watch for.
Nobody is looking after the person doing the looking after
Caregiver exhaustion is not a side issue. It is the single biggest risk to a recovery going well.

Tell us who you are
Recovering from a stroke, or caring for someone who is. Every piece of guidance rewords itself to match, and you can switch later.
Answer a few questions
A short set of questions suggests the four areas worth focusing on first. You confirm them, and you can change them any time.
Follow today's plan
One task at a time, drawn from the areas you chose. Nothing scrolls past you, and nothing shows you step three before step one.
Who this is for
Families caring at home
Spouses, adult children and informal carers. This is who the whole product is designed around, down to the size of the buttons.
Stroke survivors
Anyone well enough to use it themselves. The reading level, the contrast and the touch targets all assume impairment rather than treating it as an edge case.
Small steps are still progress.
Recovery isn't always linear or dramatic. We believe in recognising every achievement and helping you keep moving forward at your own pace.
Built by multidisciplinary rehabilitation professionals.
The guidance in StrokePath is written by rehabilitation professionals and reviewed before it is published.
Material that carries real safety risk shows its review status inside the app, so you can always see what has been checked and what is still being worked on. We would rather show you that than let you assume.
StrokePath is educational support. It does not replace the care of your medical team, and in an emergency you should always call for help first.
Questions people ask
What is StrokePath?
An educational service about recovery after a stroke. It turns what a rehabilitation team knows into practical steps you can follow at home, across twelve care areas, with a plan for each day.
Is it a substitute for my therapy team?
No. StrokePath gives general educational information. It does not diagnose, it does not prescribe, and it does not give advice tailored to one person's medical situation. If your team tells you something different from what you read here, follow your team.
Who is it for?
Mainly the family caregivers doing the day-to-day work at home. It is also built for stroke survivors well enough to use it themselves.
What does it cost?
There is a free tier that anyone can use, and paid memberships that unlock the full library and the daily plan.
Do I need to be online to use it?
You need a connection to sign in and to open a screen for the first time. After that it keeps working offline, which matters on a limited or expensive connection.
Is my information safe?
What you record about your own recovery is health information, and we handle it that way. It stays private to you and to anyone you choose to share it with, you can download or delete all of it whenever you want, and we never sell it or use it to advertise. What StrokePath does not hold is anything clinical: no diagnoses, no medical records and no clinical notes.
Be the first to know when it opens.
StrokePath is not open to the public yet. Leave your email and we will tell you the day it is, and send the occasional note about how it is coming along until then.
The list is not open yet. Email info@mystrokepath.com and we will add you by hand, and tell you the day StrokePath opens.
Recovery is a long road. You shouldn't have to guess your way along it.
StrokePath is the guidance a good rehabilitation team would give you, on the days they cannot be in the room.
