StrokePath

What is inside StrokePath

A working library of practical guidance across twelve care areas, seven in depth guides, and an education hub, with a daily plan that pulls from whichever areas matter most to you.

Twelve care areas

Each one is a screen of its own, built around what that part of recovery actually asks of a family day to day.

  • Physical recovery

    Movement, strength, and balance

  • Cognitive recovery

    Memory, attention, and thinking

  • Communication and swallowing

    Speech, language, and safe eating

  • Nutrition and health

    Food, hydration, and medication

  • Emotional wellbeing

    Mood, calm, and connection

  • Social support

    Family, friends, and community

  • Daily routine

    Today's plan and reminders

  • Safety and red flags

    When to call for help

  • Positioning and comfort

    Resting safely and avoiding sores

  • Transfers and mobility

    Moving from bed to chair, and walking

  • Goals and progress

    Small wins and steady progress

  • Home support

    Setting up the home for recovery

Seven in depth guides

Longer form guidance on the things that come up again and again, grouped so nothing arrives as a wall of text.

An education hub

110 topics across 11 sections, from what a stroke actually is through to getting back into the community. Some are full written articles and some are still summaries, and the hub shows which is which.

Who is writing the rest

The topics still sitting as summaries are being written out in full, and they are being commissioned from practising medical professionals rather than written in-house.

Recovery after a stroke crosses more than one speciality, so the articles and guides are being sourced across faculties: medicine and neurology, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, dietetics, psychology and social work. The questions families actually arrive with rarely respect the boundary between departments, and a hub written from a single perspective has gaps exactly where it is needed most.

Every piece is reviewed before it is published. Until it has been, the hub says so rather than letting it look finished.

And a plan for the day

  1. You choose the areas that matter

    A short set of questions during setup suggests four to focus on. You confirm them, and change them whenever you like.

  2. The day is built from those areas

    Each one contributes an activity, drawn from the same clinical library, rotating so it does not become the same day repeated.

  3. One thing at a time

    Nothing shows you step three before step one. Mark something done and it moves on.

Built for the people who actually use it

Designed around impairment

Large touch targets, one action per screen, plain language at roughly a sixth grade reading level, and no interface that depends on colour alone to tell you something.

Read aloud

Guidance can be read out, with each word highlighted as it is spoken, for anyone finding reading hard.

Works without signal

It installs to a phone and keeps working offline once a screen has been opened, which matters on a metered connection.

Wording follows who you are

The same guidance is worded differently for a survivor and for a caregiver, and switches whenever you do.

What is not in it yet

Demonstration video is not filmed. Some education topics are summaries rather than full written articles.

Content that carries real safety risk shows its review status inside the app until a clinical lead has signed it off. That notice is deliberate: on this subject, quietly looking finished is worse than visibly being in progress.

Who is behind it

StrokePath is built by multidisciplinary rehabilitation professionals, for the families who carry recovery once the hospital cannot.
