Abstract

Purpose
The aim of this study was to better understand the attitudes towards the use of technology to support chronic stroke survivors in a home-based setting.

Methods
A quantitative study was used on the data obtained from a face to face survey with the sample group, incorporating quantitative statistical analysis.

Results
Participants reported positive attitudes towards using technology for their own independent health management. The purpose of the home-based technology was different: source of information, supporting self-management, pharmacological treatment reminders… and differed according to age, educational level and survivor disability. Installing devices and sharing information remains a challenge.

Conclusions
100% of stroke survivors living in the community with any type of disability, reported that they would like to use technology as a tool to help improve their health status.
