Program to help stroke survivors manage their health
Official title: Improved Risk Factor Control Through a Transitional Care Program for Stroke Survivors
Run by Syntrillo, Inc · NCT06657235 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a program that helps stroke survivors manage their health and reduce the risk of another stroke by using smart devices and working with healthcare providers, to see if starting right after leaving the hospital is more effective than starting later.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 30 and above who have experienced an ischemic stroke and have a modified Rankin score of 3 or less.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with hemorrhagic strokes or those who lack the capacity to participate in the program will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates a transitional care program designed to assist stroke survivors in managing their risk factors to reduce the likelihood of a repeat stroke. Participants will track their medications, exercise, and health information using smart devices, while also engaging with healthcare providers and answering health-related questions. The study compares the effectiveness of the program based on the timing of enrollment, either immediately after hospital discharge or several months later, to determine the optimal approach for improving health outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly lower the risk of recurrent strokes in survivors by improving their management of health factors.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in transitional care programs for stroke survivors, indicating potential for success in this approach.
