Job description
The aims of this research are to develop and test:
i)
an App version ('Brain Fit' app) from a paper-based rehabilitation manual ("The Healthy Brain Rehabilitation Manual') for use in the TIA/'minor' stroke population; and,
ii)
a cardiovascular risk factor assessment tool for use in primary care.
The study will involve undertaking a systematic review of previous
studies to identify potentially relevant Apps which have been developed for use in the TIA/'minor' stroke population. The researcher will conduct semi-structured interviews and 'think aloud' sessions with patients, family members and health professionals in order to facilitate the development of the App. A pilot study of the App will be undertaken with patients, followed by focus groups at the end of the pilot study. A similar process will be undertaken for development of the cardiovascular risk factor assessment tool.
This study is funded by Northern Ireland Chest, Heart and Stroke (NICHS).
