Project Overview

Resumption of driving is critical to the health and quality of life of the estimated 62,000 Canadians affected by stroke each year. As tablets are increasingly being adopted by older Canadians, there is an opportunity to use this technology to address a critical need in stroke rehabilitation for evidence-based driving interventions that are contextually relevant, accessible, and cost effective. In this study, we will conduct usability analysis of the iPad™ and DriveFocus® mobile app alongside individuals with stroke and their caregivers to develop training protocols and improve the user experience for this new form of driver retraining.
