Characterizing Neuro-PASC outcome with the mobile Neuro-COVID recovery care companion application
Our findings reveal previously unrecognized fluctuations in subjective recovery of Neuro-PASC, and that women and patients presenting with anosmia and dysgeusia are less likely to improve one year from COVID-19 onset. We found broad alterations in QoL in both groups suggesting that strategies to reduce sleep disturbance and improve cognition may contribute to subjective improvement. Our results suggest similar mobile applications may benefit patients with other ill-defined chronic diseases, by equipping and empowering them on their often windy road to recovery.
