A mHealth application to identify cognitive communication disorder after right hemisphere stroke: development and beta testing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

More than 50% of individuals admitted to hospital with a right hemisphere (RH) stroke may present with a cognitive communication disorder (CCD). However, there is a critical absence of evidence-based screening tools available for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to identify this disorder. We developed and beta tested a new mobile health (mHealth) application to screen for CCD after an RH stroke, the Right Hemisphere Cognitive Communication Screener (RECOGNISE).

Methods

Participants with RH stroke and SLPs evaluated RECOGNISE, accessible via an Android operating system. Both participant groups completed user acceptance surveys.

Results

Six participants with RH stroke and three SLPs beta tested RECOGNISE. All participants with RH stroke reported that RECOG
