First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a mobile app-based speech therapy program is practical for stroke survivors with mild to moderate communication problems. Twenty patients discharged from the hospital used an iPad for therapy at home while waiting for outpatient services. The main goal was to see if patients would stick with the program, not to measure how well it worked.
