Summary

This study asked stroke survivors, caregivers, and healthcare professionals what they need from a home-based rehabilitation system called NEST. The system includes an exercise app, a smartwatch, and a virtual coach. Researchers held focus groups and interviews in Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands to gather user requirements. The goal is to design a tool that supports sustained therapy at home after a stroke.
