Using digital tools to prevent repeat strokes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether using digital technology—like a smart wearable device and a smartphone app—can help prevent another stroke in people who have had one recently and also have high blood pressure and diabetes. If you qualify, you'll get extra support and monitoring to manage your health and reduce your risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had an ischemic stroke (a stroke caused by a blocked blood vessel) in the past 3 months, confirmed by imaging (like a CT or MRI scan)
- You have both high blood pressure and diabetes
- You or your main caregiver can use a smartphone and a smart wearable device (like a fitness tracker), and you are willing to attend follow-up visits
- You do not have severe memory loss, language problems, or other conditions that would make it hard to participate unless you have a stable caregiver to help

This trial tests a smartphone-based system that helps people who recently had a stroke or TIA manage their risk factors like high blood pressure or diabetes after leaving the hospital. It's designed to see if this tool can prevent another stroke.
This study tests a computer program that helps manage health to prevent a first stroke in people at high risk. If you join, you'll get health management based on your personal risk.
This study tests whether using a smartphone app to check your heart rhythm after a stroke can find hidden atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). If you had a recent stroke or TIA and are not already on blood thinners, you may be able to help doctors detect and prevent future strokes.
This study uses a smartphone app to share health tips and reminders that may help lower your risk of having a stroke. It aims to see if this kind of digital support can improve your brain health and overall well-being.
This trial tests if using a smart wearable device can help people at high risk for stroke stay active and reduce their risk. You may be able to join if you have certain health conditions or habits that increase your stroke risk.
This study tests a smartphone-based digital program to support heart recovery after a heart attack treated with a stent (PCI). The program focuses on cardiac rehabilitation, which is exercise and healthy habits to strengthen the heart. It may help you recover better and lower the risk of future heart problems.
