Problem Statement

Lack of Consolidated Information Pertaining to Stroke

Stroke is one of the largest causes of adult physical disability in Singapore. A significant proportion of survivors remained moderately or severely disabled three months after their stroke. A stroke does not only affect the lives of survivors but also their family members’, who in most cases become their caregivers. There are existing resources, services and programmes to help stroke survivors but the information is scattered, residing mainly with individual service providers.

Solution

This Project Therefore Aims to Develop a One-Stop Community Portal

This portal aims to educate stroke survivors and their caregivers with practical advice and professionally endorsed best practices in caring for themselves and their loved ones. It will provide information on support services and resources that are available in the market. The portal will also serve as a community platform for survivors, caregivers and healthcare professionals to share their stroke journeys, experience in caring for a stroke survivor and to exchange expert perspective on stroke management.

Outcomes

Stroke survivors and their caregivers will be equipped with professional advice in caring for themselves and their loved ones, gain access to information on support services and resources and build peer support networks.
