Strokemark runs the first digital knowledge service for life after a stroke in the United States. Combining the newest scientific data with current information on stroke-related issues, it helps patients decide for themselves and take charge of recovery.
The company is expanding what it offers, and partnered with Netguru to build an app that helps patients actively improve different aspects of life after a stroke.
The challengeWhat the teams actually needed
More than two thousand new scientific studies appear every month, and it usually takes a long time for their findings to reach medical practice. Strokemark exists to close that gap.
Challenge 01Research nobody has time to read
The team works through the newest stroke-related research to find results that might benefit patients now rather than in several years.
Challenge 02A vulnerable audience
The service is built for people recovering from a stroke, which sets the bar for how clear and how gentle the product has to be.
Challenge 03Beyond a knowledge base
Turning a body of knowledge into an app that actively helps someone improve is a different problem from publishing it.

What we did
An app that patients and carers use together
The product is built to help people improve particular aspects of post-stroke life, module by module, rather than as one undifferentiated tool.
Research, filtered
New findings identified by the team feed the knowledge base the app draws on.
One area at a time
Netguru is currently building another physiotherapeutic feature, the Arm/Hand Module, with memory and face recognition modules planned after it.
Health data collected
The app will take health measurements and put medical content from the knowledge base alongside them.
Patients, carers, clinicians
The full version is meant as a comprehensive, personalised resource for stroke-related issues, serving patients along with the people caring for them and treating them.
