In Situ Remote Monitoring in Older Patients at Risk of Stroke

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between stroke risk stratification categories, according to ABCD2 scoring and post-ischemic stroke status, and passively- and actively collected data (from a smartphone application). Also, to investigate patterns of changes in behavioral and physiological states associated with a stroke event. Addtionally, to explore whether digital phenotyping can provide a valid, useful method for tracking behavioral and physiological changes over time. If our proposed protocol is validated, it has the potential to be applied in both clinical and research settings to improve stroke screening for older adults
