Better Lives with Care.Wallet: Stroke Rehabilitation in Bangladesh

The incidence of stroke has increased worldwide. In Bangladesh, according to a 2017 National Institute of Health study, stroke is the leading cause of death and disability. Most patients receive their initial treatment in a general clinic or hospital. Families in Bangladesh, however, play the biggest role in helping loved ones recovery after a stroke. All the patients surveyed in the study say they received care from their family members.

Stroke rehabilitation can be tough, even with the help of relatives. Patients can find it challenging to follow therapy and treatment plans. Scheduling and managing appointments for follow-up visits can also be difficult. In general, recovery can take a long time and could become a burden for patients and their families. Except in the mildest cases, stroke rehabilitation frequently takes a minimum of six months. During this time, it is usually the patient’s family who must manage the process. They are the ones making sure patients are doing their rehabilitation exercises. They are also the ones who monitor a patient’s behavior and mood for signs of progress.

With Care.Wallet, families can find the support and assistance they need to help their loved ones recover from a stroke. They can use the app to schedule appointments with doctors and specialists all in one place. And, at the same time, they can easily arrange transportation to those appointments. Having these option makes follow-up visits easier to manage.

Patients can also share health information with people in their Care.Circles to keep them up-to-date on their recovery. If a patient misses a reminder or fails to follow treatment, their family will know about it. Care coordinators, providers, and others can monitor a patient’s condition using the ‘How Are You Feeling Today’ Care.Card. Doctors can then better understand how a patient is recovering and make changes to care plans if needed. With Care.Wallet, families can be positive that loved ones are getting quality care on their road to recovery.
