Abstract

Stroke is a common and severe disease that can be found in all regions across the globe, and not only among older adults. Result of a stroke can be death, or a variety of disabilities caused by impairments in different brain functions. This chapter discusses technology enhanced stroke rehabilitation from a three-fold view of cognitive, motoric and speech rehabilitation. The important research question was: What would be the requirements for technology-enhanced stroke rehabilitation in the areas of cognitive, motoric and speech rehabilitation? The study was carried out with a requirement-focused Design Science approach collecting data with semi-structured interviews. Informants were selected in a purposive sampling choosing professionals with valuable knowledge and skills in stroke rehabilitation. The findings in this study have generated useful general requirements for a future implementation and testing of technology enhanced stroke rehabilitation. Within each of the three rehabilitation categories cognitive, motoric and speech, there seems to be potential for successful use of technology enhanced services. This development of rehabilitation services must follow the fundamental principle for all forms of stroke rehabilitation: each patient needs a personalised treatment. However, in all three rehabilitation categories, there is a need to define more specific requirements based on feedback from stroke patients testing the rehabilitation services.
