This trial investigated whether stroke patients could receive their follow-up care through telecare video consultations provided by specialized stroke nurses, rather than attending appointments at a clinic in person. The study compared how well the video visits worked compared to traditional face-to-face appointments over a three-month period. The trial was designed to see if remote consultations could provide flexible, interactive, and cost-effective care for stroke survivors.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions on clinic visits made it difficult for stroke survivors to attend their follow-up appointments in person. This trial was created to test whether telecare consultations could offer a safe and practical alternative that would allow patients to receive the care they needed while staying at home.
Participants received three consultations with a stroke nurse over three months. Half of the participants attended these visits in person at the clinic, while the other half participated through video calls on their smartphone from home. Each group received the same type of care from the specialized stroke nurses—the only difference was whether the appointment happened face-to-face or remotely.
