First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a personalized video platform called MyStroke can improve stroke knowledge and reduce hospital use after discharge. About 690 stroke patients and their caregivers will either get standard education or also access to tailored videos. Researchers will check knowledge at 90 days and track how often people return to the hospital.
