| Feasibility |
A list of indicators will be developed during the pilot phase of the research study to assess feasibility of the intervention. This will include |
| Feasibility of recruitment: |
Time taken to recruit the proposed number of participants Proportion of eligible participants identified Proportion of participants who consented in relation to participants who are eligible Reasons for exclusion
|
| Training: |
Number of participants successfully trained from the number of participants recruited for training Time taken for training by participants in different age-group, stroke severity and other factors (eg, experience of using a Smartphone) Training needs of participants in different age-groups, stroke severity and other factors
|
| Study processes: |
| An in-built mechanism will be configured onto the Smartphone application to monitor the use of the intervention by participants. These indicators include: |
Proportion of participants ever using the application Proportion of participants using the application every week Proportion of participants using the application every day Proportion of participants using it for more than 1 h Proportion of participants requiring carer support Proportion of participants and carers successfully trained in using the application Proportion of participants accessing specific contents from the intervention Proportion of participants contacting the trainer/investigator for support Proportion of participants adhering to study protocol Reasons for non-adherence
|
| Follow-up: |
Number of drop-outs Reasons for dropping out
|
| Acceptability |
During the follow-up at the end of 4 weeks, a patient experience assessment will be conducted in order to understand the reasons for adherence or non-adherence, using a small questionnaire that will be developed for this purpose, soon after the end of phase 2 (once the intervention is ready) |
| Functional outcomes |
