Strokehälsa™
Strokehälsa™ is a validated questionnaire to be filled in by the patient before a follow-up visit after a stroke.
The newly developed tool Strokehälsa™ [Stroke Health] is based on the validated instrument Post-Stroke Checklist. Strokehälsa™ is available in a digital version via 1177 and a written version. The patient answers fourteen questions and is offered information about health problems after a stroke. Strokehälsa™ can be used before a consultation (distance or physical meeting).
Strokehälsa™ has been developed in a co-design process in close collaboration with patient partners and potential stakeholders. By the aid of Stroke Hälsa™ both patients and healthcare professionals can prepare for active participation at the visit. The evaluation of the project is ongoing.
