Abstract

With the rapid development of information technology, mobile healthcare has become a hot topic of widespread concern among scholars at home and abroad. Applying smartphone applications to the continuous care of stroke patients can improve their self-management level, significantly improve their quality of life, and also promote the effective utilization of nursing resources. This article provides a review of the demand for smartphone applications in the continuous care of stroke patients, as well as the current application status at home and abroad. By drawing on foreign research results, it analyzes the main problems currently faced in China and makes prospects for the future development of the program, with the aim of providing reference and reference for Chinese medical staff in future research and application.
