App aims to slash stroke recurrence in 5,000 patients
NCT ID NCT07098143
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone app that gives personalized tips on managing stroke risk factors can reduce the chance of having another stroke. Over 5,000 people who recently had a mild-to-moderate stroke will use the app for one year. Researchers will track how many have another stroke and whether the app improves their understanding of stroke prevention.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Individualized risk factor management application
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this app could become a simple, scalable tool to help stroke survivors lower their chance of having another stroke.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial testing a behavioral intervention, not a drug. Results depend on how well people use the app, and the effect may be modest.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 40 to 80, with no gender restrictions; * Acute ischemic stroke inpatients within 2 weeks of onset, where the onset time is the time when stroke symptoms appear or the last known normal time of the patient (when it is an onset during sleep or the symptom onset time cannot be accurately obtained due to aphasia, impaired consciousness, etc.); * Confirmed diagnosis of ischemic stroke by CT or MRI of the brain within 2 weeks after symptom onset; ④ Local residents (residing for ≥6 months); ⑤ Patients who voluntarily participate in the study, have high compliance, and can sign the informed consent form; * Patients who own a smartphone or other smart devices. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients diagnosed with other cerebrovascular diseases (hemorrhagic stroke, transient ischemic attack, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, etc.) or non-cerebrovascular diseases; * Known pregnant or lactating women, or those who tested positive on a pregnancy test before cluster randomization; * Patients with other conditions that may affect participation in the trial (e.g., refractory hypertension, severe aphasia, etc.); * Patients undergoing psychiatric/psychological treatment that may contaminate the results; ⑤ Patients with a life expectancy of less than one year (e.g., coexisting malignant tumors, severe cardiopulmonary diseases, etc.); * Patients already participating in other interventional clinical studies that may influence the outcome assessment; ⑦ Patients for whom the investigator deems unsuitable for participation in this study or who may pose significant risks to the patients (e.g., cognitive impairment preventing understanding and/or compliance with the study procedures and/or follow-up).
