Abstract

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and impairments worldwide. After hospital discharge, it is necessary to monitor these patients during their recovery. This research addresses the implementation of a mobile app, entitled 'Quer N0 AVC', to improve the quality of stroke patient care in Joinville, Brazil. The study method was divided into two parts. The adaptation phase included all the necessary information in the app for monitoring stroke patients. The implementation phase aimed to prepare a routine for the Quer mobile app installation. One of the questionnaires collected data from 42 patients and identified that before hospital admission 29% of them did not have medical appointments, 36% had one or two appointments, 11% had three appointments, and 24% had four or more appointments. This research portrayed adaptation feasibility and the implementation of a cell phone app for following up on stroke patients.
