Overview
Product Rewire is an app striving to deliver better stroke rehabilitation. Research demonstrates that the NHS is not able to meet the National Clinical Guideline of 45min with each therapy area every day (physio, occupational and speech therapy). I’ve seen this firsthand working as a doctor in stroke: my trust isn’t able to provide half the recommended contact time with therapy. Rewire addresses this problem by offering bespoke exercise programs designed by therapists to help recover limb function and improve speech deficit. This element of the app is paid for while the remaining content about the disease, its prevention and management is offered for free. Team Rewire has been developed at a specialist stroke unit in West Yorkshire. Consultants, physiotherapists, speech and occupational therapists will contribute to the content. The architect of a new hyperacute stroke unit has endorsed the app and will be a product adviser. Market There are more than 100,000 new strokes every year in the UK alone. The vast majority of these confer significant disability; including cognition, speech dysfunction and limb weakness. These deficits are not limited to stroke and the content may well serve other neurological pathology. Where you come in We’re looking for an iOS developer to help build Rewire. You should be competent with Objective C and Swift languages. The MVP will provide educational content only. Users won’t need to log-in, they will be no back-end or database supporting the app. The right developer will receive £2000 to fulfil these requirements. If you’re a keen problem-solver and you’re excited by the prospect of building something that transforms lives then I look forward to reading your CV. Dr Raj Parmar, MBBS BSc
