Rahbar

Rahbar is an electronic prescription with videos for stroke patients going home.

Rahbar is an electronic prescription app consisting of 42 videos for stroke survivors and their caregivers. It was developed through evidence-based research and clinical testing at the Aga Khan University. The app aims to enable caregivers to provide improved care to stroke patients at home in regions where there is a dearth of doctors and nurses and also to prepare them for emergencies. The educational videos contain information that cover topics like what a stroke is; rehabilitation skills; safe swallowing and language; understanding the purpose of medications and how they function; and prevention of further stroke through adoption of lifestyle changes.
