Development of an mHealth Application for Self‐Management of Post‐Stroke Aphasia: Protocol for Experience‐Based Co‐Design, User Experience Testing, Feasibility Field Test and Process Evaluation
What is already known on this subject mHealth apps can assist self-management through personalised goals, interactive support and in-the-moment feedback. What this paper adds to existing knowledge This paper describes the protocol for the co-design and evaluation of a novel mHealth application for self-managed post-stroke aphasia treatment (AphasiaFit). What are the potential or actual clinical implications of this work? The outcome of our research will be a co-designed mHealth application for self-managed post-stroke aphasia treatment. Clinical implementation of this application may increase access and adherence to aphasia therapy in the chronic phase of stroke recovery.
