MyStroke for Stroke Survivors and Caregivers
Sponsor: University of Pennsylvania
Summary
The goal of this multicenter randomized trial is to evaluate the impact of a personalized video-based stroke education platform on patient-centered and health system-centered outcomes. The main questions this study aims to address are: 1. Does a personalized, video-based educational platform improve stroke knowledge? 2. Does a personalized, video-based educational platform reduce post-discharge health system utilization? 3. Do different strategies of nudging improve engagement with educational material after hospital discharge? In order to determine the effect of this personalized stroke education strategy, researchers will compare subjects who receive standard stroke education with those who receive the personalized stroke education platform in addition to standard standard education. Patient knowledge will be assessed 90-days after discharge. Study participants will include both stroke patients and caregivers, who will: 1. Receive standard education during the stroke hospitalization 2. Complete a survey on the day of hospital discharge to assess their baseline knowledge. 3. Half of the subjects will be randomly assigned to also receive access to the personalized stroke education platform on the day of discharge. 4. All subjects will complete two follow-up study visits (7 and 90 days after discharge) in order to complete surveys.

MyStroke
MyStroke is a video-based educational platform that curates brief educational videos to inform patients and caregivers about key aspects of their stroke. Upon registering a user, information regarding the patient's stroke etiology, relevant stroke risk factors, and stroke prevention medications are used to populate educational content that is relevant to the individual. Users receive automated nudges to revisit MyStroke after hospital discharge on day 1, 3, 5, 7, and weekly thereafter.
