Interactive Voice Response—An Innovative Approach to Post-Stroke Depression Self-Management Support

摘要

BackgroundAutomated interactive voice response (IVR) call systems can provide systematic monitoring and self-management support to depressed patients, but it is unknown if stroke patients are able and willing to engage in IVR interactions. We sought to assess the feasibility and acceptability of IVR as an adjunct to post-stroke depression follow-up care.
